Gone with the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
Gone with the Wind is a book that I've had in my queue to read for decades. It truly is the epic people make it out to be. Do I agree with everything in the novel, or even fully understand it? Hell no. Even the ENTIRE POINT of the novel is up for debate, in my humble opinion. Is it highlighting issues of slavery, race and class? The evils and strengths of human nature? A story of love and loss? Yes....and likely more. What are the lessons I'm meant to learn from this romanticized view of southern culture during the Civil War? Am I supposed to relate to Scarlett, be jealous of her, find her insipid or be in awe? I'm not sure, to be honest. But this is what GWTW did for me - it made me think for weeks and weeks. It moved me, made me frustrated, awed, uncomfortable, restless and curious. I know it's a long read, but I promise it's worth it. (4.5/5 stars.)
