Representaion Supposing Books Gone with the Wind Letters
I remember reading this book in 9th grade and loving it! In fact, unbeknownst to my mother I stayed up all night finishing it. The last hundred pages are very emotional, and not only had I not had any sleep, I was completely enmeshed in the emotions, crying right along with the characters! The only time I ever cursed at my mother was that morning when she asked me, "Hannah Honey, come help with breakfast," to which I replied, "I don't want to come help with any God Damned breakfast!" Guess Rhett and Scarlett were getting to me, huh! I'm rereading it, and this time will be careful not to stay up all night finishing the book!Point Books Conducive To Gone with the Wind Letters

I visited Margaret Mitchell's apartment in Atlanta in 2014 as part of a tour (after touring the Swan House where some scenes of The Hunger Games were filmed-part of the same package). I had seen the movie and read the book years ago but visiting Atlanta and learning about Margaret Mitchell was intriguing. They said she "hated" fame and she herself called her apartment "The Dump" but she didn't move out of it until 3 years after publication to a slightly larger apartment. The tour guides shouldone of the greatest American novels ever written. its entertainment and history class all wrapped up together in a spicy meatball named scarlet. most of the reviews I've seen were from women, and there are some chick-lit aspects to it, but this is a book for all lovers of good literature bothe male and female.
Wow! This book is on my top ten. So engrossing from many different angles: the war, southern social life, slavery, the main characters and how they represent the phases the south, particularly Georgia, went through before, during and after the war. Just a delight to read. Now on the to 70th anniversary DVD of the movie...!
I first read GWTW when I was in the eighth grade and became consumed with it. I loved all things GWTW. I had a life-sized poster of Clark Gable as Rhett in my bedroom for years. I re-read the book several years ago and I think I enjoyed it more as an adult. I was still rapidly turning pages waiting to see if Rhett and Scarlett ended up together.
Not enough stars on the chart to mark. Eight Stars would do. I love this book. I read it at age 17 and then again at age 45. We both got better with age. Perfect summer read. Don't watch the movie until you've read the book. One of the top entries on my Bucket list is to roam the streets of Savannah, Charleston, Atlanta. I want to find that red dirt. I want to see all the artifacts from the war. I want to hear horses clop along the street. I want to find Rhett!!!!!!When I was young I thought
This book will always have a soft spot in my heart. It's like an old friend I pick up and read every once a while.
A well-curated series of letters that reads like an epistlatory novel. And a good one at that! Ms. Mitchell was a clever, sensible woman and I would have enjoyed being one of her contemporaries.
