Read it my senior year of high school. Don't remember loving the book, but I certainly remember enjoying the analysis of it in my AP Lit class...

Review to follow....mulling it over, cause you know....tomorrow or the next day is another day! Ok, I have mulled this over now for several days..... We will be discussing this book this upcoming Friday for my bookclub. Will be interesting how that all pans out....... I read this book for the first time in 1977, after seeing the movie for the first time on TV. Took me till 2012 to read it again, after seeing the movie a few times, even on the big screen at a beautiful old theater THE FOX in St. Louis. I have to say that yes....Scarlett is spoiled ,and damn annoying......but she's a survivor,and so is Rhett...... For me the grand part of this book is not the romance, or the story of Scarlett and Rhett, but the historical aspects of the novel,and how the Civil War did affect the South in ways the "YANKEES" never experienced or could understand. The title is so very "fittin" , as Mammy would say,because the dynamics and lifestyle of the Southern people was GONE WITH THE WIND, changed forever..... even the people who didn't even own slaves had a complete turn around in their culture,and the way they conducted themselves ever after. The southerners were a proud people,and they truly thought they were right in their ways of thinking.....because it's all they knew...... Another thing I really liked about the book is Rhett made me laugh outloud quite often with his one liner comments,and how he was not afraid to stand up to Scarlett....he truly loved her..... You know, only about 26 % ( I believe I read that somewhere?) actually owned slaves. The majority didn't, but they did own their traditions, their way of life,and that's what they were fighting for,and fighting for states rights. Should slavery have ended....of course.....and it had to end by the changes that occurred due to the war. Abraham Lincoln felt all people should be free,and that's understandable. This novel shows the other side of life for the people who gave up everything for what they believed in..... Yes, Scarlett drove me crazy at times.....but in the book she was so much gritter,and so was Rhett...... and the movie is wonderful. If it was made today the characters could be much more gritter, but what's great about the book is it is different in many ways,and I like the days when the movie is different from the book, instead of a retelling of the same story that you may have just read.Whatever happened to comparing and contrasting the stories told instead of wanting a carbon copy of the novel , up on that screen?? If you give this book two stars and spend your whole time debasing the way Scarlett acted and you hated the book because she was such a big damn baby...... then you missed the point of the whole novel. Yes, it's long,but once I really got into it, it didn't take me long to devour it....it's engrossing, it's great fun,and it's definately a book that every American should read, a historical fiction story worth experiencing at least once....... Btw, Read Pat Conroy's book MY READING LIFE,and read the chapter he wrote on GONE WITH THE WIND and how much it affected him, growing up, and affected his mother.....a good mother,and a proud woman, a very proud woman of her southern birth and heritage. Don't go hungry any longer,and read this story.......

I love number 17 because it is actually about us, the reader of the future and our cynicism of the love between Shakespeare and a woman. The poem is both a bridge through time and an insight into Shakespeare's struggle to be seen not as a romantic, but a realist of romance. But who doesn't love Shakespeare's work really?
Pages one through ninety three of Yann Martel's Life of Pi had one three letter abbreviation constantly flowing through my head: W.T.F. The haze of ramblings of a young and possibly confused Indian boy were initially rather difficult to keep pace with. However, when the book dives into its main story, where Pi is adrift at sea with the company of a 450 pound bengal tiger, things get interesting quickly. Before I knew it 200 pages where gone, and boring was the last word I would have used to describe the story. The pace did seem to slow a bit here and there, with much of the story becoming sort of repetitive before long. Also it seemed to me that there was some gratuitous details concerning the body parts of animals, but the pros outweigh the cons for this book in my opinion.

Excellent horror novel. One could describe it as a Cthulhu Mythos work, but no prior knowledge of any Lovecraftiana is necessary to enjoy the book. The horror is built subtly and understated through first-person narration. Not gore porn. This is the first horror story I've read in a long time that genuinely frightened me.
A well written book. I hadn't realised what it was going to be like. Too much fantasy for me but it was well portrayed & people who like this type of book will enjoy it I guess.

This really is my all time favorite book of his. I've read it over and over and never tire of it. I recommend it for every book club...when it's my turn to host, I pick this book and set up a little 'altar' of fighter planes and serve fried chicken!! ;)
This was a great book...loved it.

It was difficult for me to get into this one, at first, because of the near-absence of Charles Wallace and Meg. However, it managed to get my attention and I ended up loving it. Wonderfully written, with the religion being ever so subtle. I just wish things could've worked out romantically for one of the twins. I love the seraphim. And how the mammoths are tiny.
