Good reads: To Kill a Mocking Bird 2 '13

Once a year my  book club selects a classic novel to read.  This year's selection was  "To Kill a Mockingbird" , a novel by Harper Lee published in 1960. It was immediately successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American Literature. 
 To add to the interest, our group  met at the home of one of our members and watched  the 1962 American drama film adaptation of Harper Lee's novel starring Gregory Peck.
 Then we compared and contrasted the both versions of the story over a southern luncheon composed of menu selections mentioned in the book.  E.g.  Brunswick Stew, and Bourbon-laced Lane Cake
