I just finished reading Gone With the Wind for the first time. I have been so absorbed in reading it for the past few weeks that I have neglected my house. Tomorrow will be a cleaning day! Having never seen the movie or read the book before, I loved reading through to find what struggles, loves, and triumphs would come next. I had seen the clip of the movie where Rhett Butler says his famous line, but in the book there is a long explanation before hand that makes the comment very appropriate. However, in the book he just says, "My dear, I don't give a damn." Scarlett is a selfish, determined person who does the meanest things to the people around her, but I loved reading about her and about the South. Now I need to watch the movie, but I'll do that after I clean the house.

So, I should read it, really? It's never been on my list. Have a good weekend.
I've never known anyone to read the book. Lots of people can't even make it through the whole movie.
: )
Good job!
Hey! This book's on my list too. Everybody seems to freak out when they hear I haven't read it or seen it! Glad to hear you liked it.
I love getting into books and neglecting cleaning the house. Doesn't it feel like you're being more productive reading the book sometimes? I think so.
