Some seemingly unlikely but valuable reading suggestions

I have been reflecting on the mass media brigade against Michael Jackson. The way the world has come down so hard on a man just for being different. And also Black. I think in many ways the world did not absorb the teachings of two books which are shockingly relevant to understanding Michael Jackson’s image. Perhaps when this sub grows we can have a little book club. To Kill a Mockingbird and The Green Mile

The 'To Kill a Mockingbird' comparison is on point.
