      @rednorth 2 years ago I did a 32 minute critical analysis presentation of that novel for a class. There's a lot to get into with that book, really good read.

          @rednorth Hamlet is good but I think its overrated as far as Shakespearean tragedies go. I'm more fond of the complex dual plot lines of King Lear and drastic meditative violence of Titus Andronicus.

              @rednorth What I like about To Kill a Mockingbird is that it's not only a powerful allegory for racism but also works as an excellent character study, though it's difficult to detail that without spoiling.

                @northernnarwhal it also points out struggles with socialism and themes of religion

                  @rednorth There are a lot of themes you could honestly explore with TKAM, it's just that racism, and on a wider scale the notion of prejudice in general, is the most prominent.

              @zazie Othello is really great, definitely one of his better tragedies.

      @rednorth I probably need to read that. Then again, I also need to read the tens of books and magazines I already have but haven't even opened except to look at pictures.
