This year Boise is reading To Kill a Mockingbird. I've always considered this one of my top 10 favorites, but I haven't read it since high school. I think we missed the boat when we put together our selection list this year. If I don't reread it this summer, I'm going to suggest we put it on next year's list. I've only seen the movie once,even though I've always had a crush on Gary Cooper. If I were one that named my children after great literary figures, Ty would have the middle name Atticus.If Ty had been a girl, he would have been Scout.
