Dorinda Mcdougald dorindamc — 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.......

Seiler Dietmar dietmarseiler — A little slower to get into than her last two novels but once it grabbed it took you on a great ride!!! Many twists and turns... never what you think!!! Recommend highly!!!

Carlo Giovanni qbix — Some of the history lessons seemed like superfluous space-fillers (I already know about cuneiform from 3rd grade), but they were still interesting. I'm not quite sure he had a book here, but I guess they don't usually publish science philosophy novellas. His voice strikes a wonderful balance of prophetic warning without pretension or melodrama. "Search Memory," "A Thing Like Me," and "The Church of Google," were my favorite chapters. Interestingly, I read this book at the same time that I switched to a standing desk. Since standing is not as comfortable as plopping oneself into a desk chair, I find myself much more focused at my computer. Immediately it became a tool that sits on my shelf (my standing desk is actually the third shelf of a bookshelf) until I choose to use it. It forces me to be more deliberate with my computer, and I'm much less likely to follow baffling chains of hyperlinks to keep from working. It really has made my days more contemplative and peaceful. I've been reading more, too. Somehow that relates to The Shallows. The idea of this book is so pressing and vital that I'm inflicting it on my composition class for Monday. It makes me feel really good to know that 50 (wishful thinking, maybe) college first-years are going to give some thought to the extensions-of-ourselves that computers have become.
