I read GWTW every February. It's only fitting since it the month of love. If you haven't read this book you are missing out. I cry every year when I read it, and never in the same spot. Scarlett makes me so angry but at the same time I feel sorry for her too. Rhett is awesome. I find myself hoping that each of them will get over themselves to make it right. I spend my time wishing, "If Only" Such as, If Only Scarlett let Rhett know she truly needed him. If Only Ashley had a spine and didn't humor Scarlett with her infatuation. If Only Scarlett trusted Melanie and truly realized what a great Lady she was. If Only Rhett stopped pretending what Scarlett did to him didn't hurt. Alas, my If Only's lead to tears every year. It is a brave, exciting book capable of making you feel so many different emotions you might feel like you could explode. Try it.

I'm so happy that you started your blog and excited that you have been doing such a great job of updating it!
Oh my goodness, what a brilliant idea. I adore that book, actually I should say that I love the movie, as I only have read the book once, and that was when I was a sophomore in high school. I need to read it again. I have the same feelings about the characters as you do. I made my kids watch the movie with me and they didn't like it. I think they just don't understand her. She's a survivor! I love Rhett. I love Melanie. I love Mamie.
I have the book in Dutch, it's called Gejaagd Door de Wind, I believe. Never read it in English or Dutch. Nice idea though. You're such an avid reader, Aubrey.
I want to watch the movie again, it's been years since I have seen it. I doubt I will be reading it any time soon.
