How about a little book discussion?
So is anyone besides me and Kim reading "Gone With The Wind"? I am really enjoying it, but I just need to vent about how selfish and awful Scarlett is!!! I keep thinking there will be a turning point and she will change, but now I have less than 100 pages until the end, so I don't think its gonna happen. How can she be so self-centered and heartless? But I really like Rhett. I think he is my favorite character and I hope it ends well for him. Any thoughts? Are you liking it? hating it? refusing to read it because it is so freakin' long?

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! I was intimidated by the size, but finally got into it this week. So I'm only in the middle of part III where the "damn yankees" have Atlanta under siege and Melanie is giving birth, but man I love this book.
Every single page I declare aloud that Scarlett is selfish and wretched! So far I do like Rhett. I love how realistic and emotionally level headed he is.
I also enjoy reading about the history of the South. I remember living in North Carolina and having the civil war trenches pointed out to me and I don't think I really thought about what that meant until I read about the "darkies" having to dig them around Atlanta.
I love this book. I love this book. I'm going to go read some more.
Yay! I am so glad you are loving it! I just finished last night. I also enjoyed the history aspect of the book. Tim and I were in North Carolina last weekend, and I was able to pick up on some things because I was reading the book, it was perfect timing!
I love this book. There are times when I keep thinking that I don't want to read it because it's a bit depressing and Scarlett is so selfish (thought, I admit I kind of hate Frank Kennedy more--wimp). But as soon as I pick it up I get into it.
Rhett really is the best character. I just wish he didn't love Scarlett.
PS Randi, I need to be added as a contributor. Thanks!
