I’m reading Gone With the Wind. Not sure why, just thought of it a few weeks ago and realized that it had won a Pulitzer Prize and the movie had won Academy Awards, so I was curious. The language is stilted and the attitude is somewhat antiquated, but it certainly keeps your interest. Plus I have never spent much time thinking about the Civil War, so I am learning more about that too, such as General Sherman continually flanking the position of General Joe on his way south to Atlanta. Anyway, Melanie has just had their baby, and the Yankees are overrunning Atlanta. I think I’ll try to watch the movie sometime soon, too.
The South seems to have had quite a few good novelists, so I think that I will read To Kill a Mockingbird next.
