Well fuck me running I read this book 10 years ago and haven't touched it since but goddamn if I didn't just realize Tom is the mockingbird... fuck.

Any time y'all experienced this? Books that took you years to understand, even if you didn't mean to.

There are already dozens, if not hundreds, of articles written by people hastily realising that they never actually liked the book when Harper Lee's original manuscript got published and it turned out that Atticus Finch was a segregationist.

Can someone please explain the appeal of this book to me? I read it a while ago and thought it was just alright. I don't quite see why it has the reputation it has.

The majority of people read it for high school english.

Most of its appeal is from Northerners that consider the South a sort of zoo. It's a good representation of the kind of society which existed and in some cases still exists in the American South.

And Boo Radley is the Ubermensch. Nietzsche literally manifests in the text and murders some racist fuckwit in the last chapter.
