    About this audiobook

    Readings and conversation with Kurt Andersen, Libba Bray, Stephen Colbert, Oskar Eustis, Mary McDonagh Murphy, Jayne Anne Phillips, and Isaiah Sheffer, a discussion with the audience. Authors and actors including Stephen Colbert, Libba Bray (award winning young-adult novelist Going Bovine, winner of 2010 Printz Award), Oskar Eustis (Artistic Director at The Public Theater), Kurt Andersen (novelist and Studio 360 Host), Jayne Anne Phillips (novelist and National Book Award finalist Lark & Termite), filmmaker Mary McDonagh Murphy (author of the upcoming book Scout, Atticus, and Boo), and others pay tribute to the Pulitzer prize-winning classic novel about racial injustice and loss of innocence in a small Southern town. One of the most taught -- and frequently challenged -- books of the last 50 years, the book was voted the best novel of the 20th century by librarians. The evening includes readings, discussion and audience Q&A.

      Beautiful. All the reasons it's a classic are obvious, but it makes the novel no less sweet.

      I finished my re-read of this book at Biscuit Head today. The counterman, upon seeing a clearly emotional woman, came over to see if he could help. When I explained that my behavior was the result of a book not of the bacon or some real-life monster, he asked what I was reading. I showed him the cover. He inhaled deeply, nodded understandingly, patted my shoulder sympathetically, and walked away.

      Well every country has its own book of pride, generations after generations talk excitedly about reading it for the first time, how they related themselves to the characters and those times in which the book was written . No wonder if this occupies such a place in American minds. The book was very much available freely in our part of the world and almost had a sort of permanent presence on the book kiosks on railway stations, airports etc, never read it but it was great to listen to all these guys including author……

      Read this book in 8th grade and it had a profound impact on how I viewed racism

      If it was the book and not people talking about the book.
    • 5/5
      great book to listen . . . . . .
    • 3/5
      I was waiting for the actual book to begin. Instead this is a review of the book by other scholars.
    • 5/5
      I have yet to read this renowned book. My star rating is based on the "must read" acclaim of this book
    • 1/5
      Horrible. Arrogant, obsequious panelists. Rude clapping. Just wanted to listen to the book.
    • 1/5
      This is not the book, just a conversation about the same. Should be better specified
    • 1/5
      It’s not the book. Why titles as such. Why is everyone commenting like it’s the book lol. ?
    • 1/5
      This is an “audiobook” on a book club meeting about it, not the actual novel
    • 1/5
      This version sucks. What happened to just a regular version rather than commentary
    • 2/5
      A fine reading, but it would be much more impactful without the interjections and tangents.
    • 3/5
      It was really well written and had a compelling story, but it’s just not for me.
    • 1/5
      I was expecting to hear the book as it is labeled as an audiobook. I was disappointed, it was a discussion of the book
    • 1/5
      This isn't the book. It's just a summary. What gives?

      Loved the book but not this recording. Can barely hear it.

      Not the book, just commentary. If this is how scribd operates they won't last long.

      Great book reading or listening. I highly recommend it to anyone.
    • 5/5
      I was forced to read this book in high school and I hated it. Now, 40 years later an English teacher friend of mine insisted that I read it again as it is her favorite book. She even bought me a new copy. I did so and I thoroughly enjoyed it the second time around. I loved everything from the very subtle dry humor to the beautiful and oft used vocabulary. This is a book about honor, prejudice, and standing for what is right--timeless themes, which may well be lost on youth--as it was on me.
    • 1/5
      The book itself is great, but if you have not yet read it, do not listen to this recording. This is not a straight audio book reading if the book. Instead it is more of a book club type review, reading, and discussion of it, spoiling key aspects of the story.
      The reason I rated this so low is that it is not labeled as such.
    • 5/5
      It was one of those books you can't stop reading
    • 5/5
      Great book. Would recommend for sure. Gives a good insight on the oroginal
    • 1/5
      Not the book itself just a discussion about it. Why is this at the top of the charts?
