Gone with the Wind is a masterpiece of creative writing on every level. In its 1400 pages (or 49 hours on audio) there is not a single wasted line or insignificant moment. From a purely technical perspective, it is awe-inducing how flawlessly Mitchell utilizes characterization, setting, research, co...
Well I was tempted to just post a gif with someone giving a middle finger, but heck, I can do better than that. And honestly I want to explain (though I think my updates did a great job of that) of why this is from beginning to end pretty much one of the most disappointing books I have read this yea...
5 Stars. Buy it Spoilers This was definitely a favorite while I was growing up and helped me really like long novels. One thing I’m noticing is that despite being quite a bit older since I’ve last read this, is that it’s still really hard to understand when the slaves are talking. DAMN it. M...
The classic square for my Spring Book Bingo challenge was the one that worried me most because I am just not a classic reader.

A great movie, no doubt, but to know everything about Scarlett O'Hara you need to read this fantastically written book. It won the Pulitzer Prize, by the way. We follow Sc...
I want to shout NO, NO, NO, NO over and over again!! are you seriously going to leave me with, "tomorrow is another day"? Well, I'm not a person who needs a happy ending but I really, really wanted a happy End for this story! Even though I knew while I'm reading the novel that the ending was not goi...
Gone with the Wind has often been criticized as racist, which it certainly is. I also found that the book at times was repetitive which is not OK in a book of this length.The book is many things at once. A lament for the old South. An argument for the new South. A war novel, a novel about defeat...
