But I just couldn't not read it (I'm at the 3/4 mark). Where TKAM is transcendent, Watchman is profane. Where TKAM offers hope, Watchman is just painful. So far, at least. It's all so odd, seeing as Watchman is what? the original manuscript from which Mockingbird was extracted, right? It's easy to understand why Harper Lee was adamant that this work never be published. If TKAM is the bible you clutched in your growing-up years, beware: Once you've read Watchman, you can't go back. On the other hand, a lot can happen in 70 pages, and I could be completely wrong about all of this.SMundayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198214232788799093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553900212932566928.post-87975931741980979552015-07-20T13:28:01.307-07:002015-07-20T13:28:01.307-07:00I don't know if I can read it.
