Much celebrated, huh buttercup?
First you can read The Thirteenth Tale and then I have people who want to know if you liked it. After that, if you decide to Read To Kill a Mockingbird, you should. People will want to know how you liked that also. If you decide to wait on To Kill a Mockingbird, I'll re-read it and then read the biography of the author, Harper Lee. If you decide to read it you get first dibs on the biography (if you want to read it).
Oh, and when on earth did you find a chunk of food in a book? Was it a library book?
