'Smartest' is just a relative term, right?
Right?

Possibly.
Ironbite-I'm not entirely sure.

I've read a fair few of those, IN school even. Some of them were even read TO us! We even watched the movies of To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men in my English classes. Horrors!
Where's Waldo? Really? REALLY? o.O

I read To Kill a Mocking Bird in English this year. Of Mice and Men was last year.
Both were pretty good.

I did To Kill a Mockingbird in high school. I enjoyed it - until we pulled it apart to see how it was made. Haven't been able to pick it up again since

To Kill a Mockingbird? Really?
I can think of no better book when it comes to dealing with the issue of racism. It's probably because it has the word 'nigger.' Idiots really oughta learn about a thing called context.

To Kill A Mockingbird was awful, the characters were all two-dimensional, almost all were profoundly dislikeable and beyond its message of tolerance it was totally devoid of recommendable qualities.
Bah Humbug.

If you want something that deals with racism, why not go with Huckleberry Finn?
Oh, and totally off-topic here, but, Sanda, have you had a look at your title lately? Looks like the string parser exploded.

Brave New World? Slaughterhouse Five? Catcher in The Rye? What is this world coming to?
EDIT: I read Brave New World in my freshman year. People should grow thicker skins.

Your title may have very well started the Toaster Rebellion. Thanks to you, we are all now toast...literally.
