Okay, I reopened the earlier thread that I locked. Please discuss the book here:

If someone could post rather quickly and bump that to the first page, it would be appreciated.

Sometimes I just read the topic lines. I rely on our users for a lot of things. There are only so many hours in a day and it takes time to read long threads.

If you guys think there needs to be another thread that is not annoying at the beginning (no guarantees a new thread also won't be annoying), just say so.


It's DCUM, so it will probably be annoying, but if it could have a title free of derision that would be a good starting place.

I would not say people are discussing the book. I think they are discussing controversy surrounding the "new" Atticus and naming conventions.

NP here, I found the beginning of that thread really annoying. If I wanted to discuss the book, it wouldn't occur to me to go back to a thread I found mildly offensive to see if it had morphed into a different topic.

Well, to be honest, I haven't read any of the threads. But, other posters reported that the threads I locked were duplicates. I assume that despite its title, the original thread had transitioned to be about the book. If that is not the case, you are welcome to set me strait.

Jeff, you've locked two threads on _reading_ Go Set a Watchmen. The existing thread that you point to is not actually on reading the book. That thread is about naming your child after a character in literature. These are different topics.
