I read it when my daughter read it in school and passed it on to me.
She must have been just about the age that you were. I was surprised
that her English teacher had chosen the book, but I was glad that she
was able to discuss everything in school. I never saw the film.

The same teacher also assigned "A Separate Peace", "Catcher In The
Rye", "Lord Of The Flies" and "Flowers For Algernon", the last made
into the film "Charlie". I read them all and others that I no longer
remember, but I was never a big fan of movies, so I don't think I saw
any of them.

Talking of Oranges, I want to use up some overripe bananas and make
Banana Bread. I like to grate some fresh Orange Peel into the the
batter and I have to go and buy one.
