To Kill A Mockingbird!
That would be the book I am currently reading because all of my friends have STOLEN my Twilight books. Thanks a lot. No, actually I'm glad you did it otherwise I wouldn't be reading To Kill A Mockingbird. Thanks Joe! I was in the middle of Wuthering Heights (AGAIN) and it was getting quite...repetitive. I want to know what YOU think of To Kill A Mockingbird.

Isn't that why we all love it? The love story duh! I'm reading them for pleasure because that's just what Heidi does; it is so interesting talking in third person. That was off topic but oh well.

Yeah, but you have a point. calling yourself One, and talking about yourself in third person is pretty much something else. I find it fun sometimes.
But anyway. The books i guess are cool for the love stories, but i guess its the story based around them and shiz like that i dont like. I do like it in Wuthering Heights when...
*SPOILER*
Just in case people havent read it (or watched the movie), want to read it, and shiz like that (althoguh they may read this anyway....
I do like it in W.H when cathy dies and Heathcliffs just like....Cursing her. That was pretty cool.

I think it, in a way, is a love story though. Its pretty much all about Heathcliffs absolute love for Cathy.

I mostly agree. I have read them but only for school. They are not my preferred genre and I didn't really like them at all. But if I wanted a love story I would go read one but I never really do.

Between?
Sure, you can say that there is paternal and filial love expressed in To Kill a Mockingbird, but it is not a "love story" in the conventional sense. By "love story" we usually mean a "romance story", not the story of paternal/filial love. Besides, the story line was based about completely different things, and love played only a small part compared to everything else.

well, i dno...Depends on the way ya see it. It was one of those books that had a racial/love meaning behind it...Or did i not get it? Was it too long ago since i read this book i have no idea what im on about...

The book was clearly centered around the issues of race, bravery, tolerance and coming-out-of-age rites. Nothing about romantic love at all. Not even that much filial/paternal love.

You just contradicted yourself there. Just a tad.
And you could say it. Everyones free to their own opinion and everyone gets a different thing out of books, and different meanings. I wouldnt say theres one true meaning. Maybe the meaning a writer meant to put, but sure, thats not always the one everyone sees.
