Also, it seems unlikely he would have written a book from Scout's perspective<br /><br />TKAM also has a very different writing style than Capote's works.<br /><br />Also - I highly recommend going back and reading The Stand again - make sure to go with the unabridged version.thehamiltonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04807884872958018864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137000056683285487.post-80439619504541372342010-05-29T07:32:22.743-05:002010-05-29T07:32:22.743-05:00I had never heard/thought about the Capote ghost w...I had never heard/thought about the Capote ghost writing To Kill a Mockingbird theory. While it makes a bit of sense I like your idea much better. <br /><br />I read Mockingbird the year after I finished graduate school. Today I'm torn between if Mockingbird is my favorite book of all time or if is the The Catcher in the Rye. I originally read The Catcher in the Rye when I was 16 and reread it when I was 22. I always thought Holden Caulfield's journey made a great story, but it blew my mind when I reread about them at 22. <br /><br />Nice postPABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704797848114563082noreply@blogger.com
