Maybe if they won't read the book, they will watch the film?

Will David Kipen be forced to eat a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird?  He thinks the book is so great that 128 residents of Kelleys Island in Ohio will read it, and if they don't he has vowed to eat the book.  It is an excellent read, and certainly most folks will finish it in less than 48 hours, but for any laggers, the film is also great.
