pickFor #thebigjubileeread for the decade 1952-61 I chose this novel published 1959 ER Braithwaite an author from Guyana. I confess I have not see the movie this book inspired however that doesn‘t take away from this amazing story! Truly, should be required reading. So much to learn from this story. #readingchallange2022
TheBookHippie Was required reading for my high school honors English it was considered a NEW classic. 3y
KristiAhlers @TheBookHippie oh I‘m glad! If more people read books like this. The more they would understand I‘d hope. This one truly spoke to me. 3y
TheBookHippie @KristiAhlers it‘s still required here for some schools. I read it four decades ago 🤯. 3y

KristiAhlers @TheBookHippie yeah I graduated in ‘87 and my honors/AP English class only focused on Shakespeare. Only play if his we didn‘t read was A Midsummers Night Dream. Anything normal kids read in school I‘ve picked up on my own. To say I‘m salty at how much I‘ve missed is an understatement 3y

KristiAhlers @mcctrish I can totally understand that! I may quit while I‘m ahead for that decade! 3y
