I didn't. The copy my mom has is due at the library today, and she can't renew it because someone else is waiting for it. She's going to put both of us on the waiting list for it when she takes it back. Their library sends an e-mail to remind you that your book is due, how nice is that?!

I saw a 50th anniversary copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" at Borders. I read it in the ninth grade but I don't remember it well. Sometimes I say to myself I really should re-read some of the books I was assigned in school- like that and "The Great Gatsby" for example, just for their importance in the world of literature.
