Read After Burnout. It makes no sense.
Selling Like Hot-Cakes?
Harper Lee, a pretty decent effort…
Jem was dead. Harper Lee did not publish after her classic American tale. It was a novel that affected millions and caught the zeitgeist of a nation and a world in transition. It was a novel that our teachers felt needed to be read so, even in the grey climate of sixties' Northern England, shrouded... Continue Reading →
