Why is this never discussed or mentioned here? In pretty much every "top x books of all time" lists it seems to always make the top 5. Is it actually good or just a meme?

It's pretty bad. Don't trust book rankings (with a couple exceptions), trust talented writers, esteemed critics, and genuine intellectuals. And no where in their vast corpus of literary critique do you see, say, Nabokov, Wilson, Sontag, Northrop Frye, etc. talk about this weak novel because it is not high art/literature.

The deadly combo of "woman writing about race issues" triggers all the edgelords, you should have seen the thread when she died

The book is pretty good, read it either way, it's not very long.
It's for the best if you form your own opinion.
Because 4chan is full of edgy frustrated virgins.
It's a nice book, read it.
All the other kids liked it when we read it in 8th grade, but it always felt like a heavy handed after school special to me. I'm no edgelord, I just found the text utterly unremarkable.
The movie is more worth it and less of a waste of time, it's got Gregory Peck and Robert Duvall.
Atticus Finch genuinely made me want to be a more tolerant person. Its not easy though
i saw the movie and it was pretty good, but i just can't be bothered to read the book
