Go Set A Watchman

This morning i finished Harper Lee's Go Set A Watchman, the squeal to her iconic To Kill A Mockingbird.  I loved it, it will most likely go into my top ten favorite books of all time, i have read a lot of books. Some people fearful to read it because friends did not like it or the review were bad, need to get new friends and quit reading book reviews. Enough said.

The book is different and yet a lot like Mockingbird, a lot of the major players from To Kill A Mockingbird are gone, either dead or written out, or actually not written in at all because the newest Lee novel is the original. The book is about going  home, Tom Wolf said you never could. But at some point in our life for various reasons we all have to. This is what Jean Marie "Scout" Finch did. 

The newest Harper Lee work introduced a new character, Dr. Finch, Atticus' brother, he is now my favorite Harper Lee character. Every small town has a Dr Finch, our town has Page Chamberlain, a brilliant scholarly Southern gentleman, a bit eccentric with a huge heart, who knows were ever skeleton in our county is located. 

pretty soon i am going to make my trip home, to my firs real home, Dickson, Tennessee. i am going to look up my old friend Butch Hooper and we are going to wander among ghosts. i want to stop at my grandparent's store and see if i can see a little boy wandering among the fields or drinking free Cokes all day long. We will see.
