Just finished reading Watchman, and damn, this woman's got talent!

So does whoever wrote that.

The husband of Harper Lee's lawyer was killed in a plane crash:

No link too tenuous for inclusion on DL forums!

Perhaps we could have a thread named Widower Shopping on the Fringes of Fame? stirthepot.gif

Hey, it's a DDP-qualifying obit. I wonder why nobody picked him.....

Apparently dead according to a newsroom snap.

she was my "i'm going to include her on my shadow list every year until she passes, because she's too big a name to miss out on if she dies" candidate.

now for every one on social media to pay tribute to her legacy by googling a random quote from her book and posting it as their status.

Oh well, that's my fourth correct prediction of the year so far

 

Never read her book and I don't care to

Nothing like preemptive dismissal to really drive home a point.

Was "Go Set A Watchman" an instruction manual on how to use Sony's digital watch?

Hard to make the case that this isn't going to be the biggest miss of the committee this year, but then you really wouldn't have expected her to die just as she sort-of emerged from her exile.

I don't know, I personally thought she might last a year or two more. But what with all that stuff with the sequel being published and claims of elder abuse, I suppose there should have been alarm bells.

Who gets top billing at the next DDP update? Boutros-Ghali or Harper Lee? Or will there be another hit to take precedence even over these two?

I hate it when one of those on/off picks cark it in an off year.

She had been picked a few times since 2012

Darn, I really liked her books. Her talent will live on.

 

Pissed I missed out on her, though... might have her in Shaun's but not on DDP nor shadow list.

 

Even worse for the Deathlist because they actually had her last year, I never had her.
