Gone with the Wind
Gone with the Wind | Margaret Mitchell, Pat Conroy
Margaret Mitchell's epic novel of love and war won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to give rise to two authorized sequels and one of the most popular and celebrated movies of all time. Many novels have been written about the Civil War and its aftermath. None take us into the burning fields and cities of the American South as Gone With the Wind does, creating haunting scenes and thrilling portraits of characters so vivid that we remember their words and feel their fear and hunger for the rest of our lives. In the two main characters, the white-shouldered, irresistible Scarlett and the flashy, contemptuous Rhett, Margaret Mitchell not only conveyed a timeless story of survival under the harshest of circumstances, she also created two of the most famous lovers in the English-speaking world since Romeo and Juliet.

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

After reading the lyrics of this song, I interpreted “Love Yourself“ to be a write-off song to an extremely vain person. Hence my choice. I can even hear good ol' Rhett right now: “Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.“ Irony: Oh, but you do, you really do. 😍

I‘m dedicating this month of #foodandlit to one of my ancestors, my most recent immigrant from #Germany and the most courageous, Henry Bertling, about whom I‘d love to write a book. At 10 in 1845, his family immigrated from Hamburg to Galveston & trekked across Texas to a town near where I live. Within the year he became the family‘s sole survivor, the rest died from a flu epidemic and buried in a mass grave that I found in New Braunfels. ⬇️

Texreader As a young man, he fought for the confederacy. I followed his regiment that fought Sherman as the general burned his way south—very much following the narrative in Gone With the Wind. Henry had to walk home from Raleigh, North Carolina after the surrender (think Cold Mountain). ⬇️ (edited) 1y
Texreader Back in Texas I like to think he gained some control over his life although he never learned to read or write. He and Clara had a large family and I‘m descended from his first son, John, pictured here. My research and excerpts can be found here: https://www.familyimmortal.com/page27/page35/hbertling.html (edited) 1y

For Wednesday‘s #bookquote, I‘m sharing this book quote from Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell. This is my favorite quote from the book and the movie. I read this book in 2017 and I really enjoyed it. I would reread it again. After that, I read the sequel from Alexandra Ripley called Scarlett and I still enjoyed the sequel but it wasn‘t as good as Gone With The Wind was. I watched the film adaptation of Gone With The Wind and I enjoyed it.

#OnThisDay in 1936 Margaret Mitchell first published Gone With the Wind. Mitchell began writing the book when, at age 25, she was stuck at home nursing injuries and needed to stave off boredom. When her husband brought her a typewriter, she began writing the tale of Patsy O'Hara. A publisher requested the name change, Mitchell told a friend: "We could call her ‘Garbage O‘Hara‘ for all I care, I just want to finish this damn thing." #HistoryGetsLIT

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I am FINALLY finished with this one, which I started back in April as my #BookSpin pick for that month. This book gave me SO many mixed feelings and made me feel so many things that I have to give it a Pick even though I'll never read it again and I despised Scarlet. I'm not sure I've ever read a book where the heroine was so thoroughly self-absorbed and self-sabotaging. I did have a (very) reluctant admiration for ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) her grit and determination, but then in the next paragraph she would do something so stunningly stupid that I just wanted to wring her neck. Also, Margaret Mitchell, what the heck was up with killing off those last two people in the last 50 pages?!?! I marked multiple passages/quotes in this story, found the writing to be incredibly compelling, absolutely fell in love with Melanie, heart and soul, and was thoroughly intrigued by this ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) perspective of the Civil War and its aftermath. Although I found Scarlet to be brutally unsympathetic as a character, the writing here was so amazing that I stuck it out and finished all 959 pages. Glad to have this one off my list. Even though I definitely didn't love, I do think it thoroughly deserves its place on the Classics list.

TheAromaofBooks @thereadingpal - Well, it took me a long time to get to it!! I've been trying to read more classics this year. I'm not sure I would have gotten through this one if I hadn't just been reading one chapter a day for most of it. That was about as much Scarlet as I could take! 😂 2y

I can't express how pleased I am with my personal #BookSpin plan this year! The list on the right is my ongoing list of classics/chunksters that I have been wanting to read, and I've read a chapter a day of each month's book until it's finished, which means I've checked off Ivanhoe, David Copperfield, and Of Mice and Men already this year!! I'm about 1/3 of the way through the tagged book, which was April's pick. I'm excited to see which one is ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) next!!!

The list on the left is my #BookSpinBingo list aka May's TBR. I've got some challenge and buddy reads going on. The blank spaces are going to be for “catch up“ books for the challenge reads from past months that I haven't read yet!!

This year's goals included reading more classics, more nonfiction, and more from my own shelves, and I'm actually doing great with all three of those goals so I'm stoked. Several Litsy challenges ⬇

#BookReport - Finished two ebooks and the 2nd book in the Arc of a Scythe trilogy. I'm better than halfway through the final book and it's SO good. My chapter-a-day books are continuing. I started Gone With the Wind as my #BookSpin this month and wow are those chapters WAY too long! It's not a bad book, but Scarlett is just annoying. North & South is going along - I still don't like literally a single person in that book. Everyone is so whiny ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) self-absorbed, and melodramatic. The Other Bennet Sister is really enjoyable, though - I keep wanting to rush to the end of that one!! Tomorrow's picture will reveal that the windowsill hasn't changed much! 😂 @Cinfhen 2y
Cinfhen I remember thinking Scarlet was the most ANNOYING literary character EVER !! 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen - I thought I might find her obnoxious but thought I could handle her for a chapter a day... but these chapters are SO LONG! She's just mind-boggingly self-centered and even though over a year has gone by since we first met her, she literally hasn't changed at all! 2y

KristiAhlers Scarlett is who she is. One of the modest memorable unlikable character I‘ve ever read. I guess I need to check out the Scythe series as it‘s been recommended to me twice. 2y

TheAromaofBooks @KristiAhlers @Lyssa131330 - I will say that despite Scarlett driving me crazy, I actually am really engaged in the story itself, so that's good! 2y

3. Tagged. I was staying at my grandmother's one summer as a kid and this was the only book (other than Archies) she had. I must have reread it a dozen times that year and it spurred an obsession

Why do we keep on living, Do we need a reason? I don't think that's a question we are meant to find an answer. We live because we're born into this world. Some days, we need to take a deep breath, rest up, and face the challenges tomorrow.

Three words to describe this book: tragedy, frustration, and courage. What a journey! and no matter what, Scarlett's journey will continue on beyond the book.

My best friend has been on me to read this for a while, but I've been hesitant because I've heard there is a lot of racism in it. I'm going into this reminding myself that it takes place in a different time, but I'm not going to force myself to read it if it becomes to much.

LibrarianRyan It does have racism in it, but equivalent to the time period. Warning, the first 200 pages are some of the most boring stuff I have ever read. Once you get over all of Scarlet's parties, and her 17“ waist and get into the meat of the story it is hard to put down. 3y

#7Days7Books Day One

We present here 7 books that will remain in our minds, because they touched us so much, changed us.
This book introduced me to the imperfect, even unlikable, protagonist. Quite a revelation!

Want to share your seven books, @claudiuo ?

JenlovesJT47 My favorite book! And I totally agree! 🤗 4y
AmyG This is one of my books, too. 💕 4y
claudiuo Never thought about sharing in this group but I'll try. Thanks for the tag! 4y

#7Days7Books

Books that left a lasting impression on me.

Day 3:
I used to check this book out from the library every summer as a teenager. It reminds me of the sites and smells of summer...the warmth of summer days and nights. I never actually finished reading the book any of those summers until I read it as an adult. Rhett has always been a literary crush of mine. Scarlett infuriates me. How can someone so fierce and strong be so blind?

JenlovesJT47 My favorite book!! ❤️❤️❤️ 4y
jillannjohn I read this every summer in high school. ❤️ 4y

I began reading this classic pre-quarantine but hadn‘t gotten very far. I have decided to listen to the Libby audio while reading my personal copy. It may take awhile to get through but I am enjoying it thus far.

I finally finished it. I know it‘s a classic I did love the characters in the book but man some of the side bars about military movements and politics made me want to cry I was so bored. #chunksterchallenge2020

Amiable It‘s a feeling of accomplishment to finish it, isn‘t it ? Great job! 4y
