Books, Number Three

Now it's getting serious.

Number Three: Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
It should be no surprise that after I praised another book as being the "Gay Gone With the Wind" that the actual GWTW would be on this list as well. I'd argue that this is THE great American novel, and that Scarlett O'Hara is a tragic heroine worthy of Shakespeare. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this book. I saw the movie version, first and then picked up the book in college when I wanted something to read for fun. I'd loved the movie, but the book is . . . well, it's Gone With the Wind. That pretty much says it all.
