Frankly, Scarlett...

I'm Gone With The Wind, right now...completely and utterly.  Have you actually read it?  Do so.  Immediately.  From the first few pages, the beauty of Georgia somehow magically captured in Margaret Mitchell's prose casts a spell of awe on its readers.  Mitchell's characters light up her pages with real dimension and charm, fostering a deep appreciation for her ability as a writer to create such real, beautiful people.  She successfully paints Georgia in the 1860s for the reader to discover and live in for 1,024 pages, but not a page too many.  You'll fall in love with Mitchell as a writer, Georgia in the mid to late 1800s, and the beautiful, familiar characters.  As an English teacher of five years (and counting) and a literature lover to the fullest, I honestly don't know how this book has waited patiently unread on my bookshelf.  Perhaps the literary gods knew I would need this escape right now in my life.  Head on over to Amazon.com to get your very own copy delivered right to your doorstep.
