Howard Zinn Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2005 This should be required reading in our schools Our country will never be able to live up to the lofty ideals of our founding documents unless we come to grips with the truth of how we got where we are.

Pinker writes in an ...             To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2002 American Classic Harper Lee wrote only one novel. And it is probably one of the best books ever written.

This is a great book ...             Our Town: A Play in Three Acts (Perennial Classics) Thornton Wilder Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2003 The Face of Eternity and the Mind of God By most accounts Thornton Wilder (1897-1975) considered himself a teacher rather than a writer--a curious situation given than he won numerous literary awards, including three Pulitzers.
