Chicagoans Are Reading the Same Book at the Same Time: “In a radical

effort to pull an entire city away

from video screens and into the pages of

literature, Chicago officials are asking

every adult and adolescent in the city to

read the same book at the same time.

The book they have chosen is Harper Lee’s

powerfully anti-racist novel, To Kill a

Mockingbird, which won a Pulitzer Prize in

1961.” New York Times
