Has anyone ever read Gone With The Wind?

Question

Have you ever read Gone With The Wind? I'm 14 and I read that back in September. That's a 1,024 page book and I finished it in 19 days. Do you think that's pretty good for a 14yr old? I thought that was a pretty good book.

Answer 1

I have read it, and congratulations, that is a great book to read! I love reading old books like that, as you learn a lot of older language that has died out by our time period. A couple more you should try if you liked that are The Grapes of Wrath, Don Quixote (absolutely hilarious), and House of the Seven Gables

by the way, my dog's name is Katie Scarlett O'Hounddog and my cat is Mrs. Melanie Wilkes :-)

Answer 2

I read Gone With The Wind for the first time when I was 12 or 13. And yes, I loved it. I thought it was great...the best book ever written. I've read it many times since then as well. 19 days is pretty quickly too. I've had years of practice, but four days was my record for reading it!

Answer 3

Thats an excellent reading time for a 14 year old to read Gone With The Wind. I have read it 4 times-Its just about one of the best books I have ever read!!

Answer 4

I read Gone With The Wind when I was in my twenties. I loved it. Couldn't put it down.

For you to have read it in 19 days is a pretty good track record.

Answer 5

It's a very good book, I watched the movie too. There are alot of differences between the two. If your looking for something else to read try reading Scarlett which the sequal. It's by a different author but it's still pretty good.

Answer 6

I have read it 3 times. I was 14 the first time I read it too!
You did great reading it in 19 days. I thought it was a good book too. Can you believe she did not write a sequel? It was such a good story.

Answer 7

Try out SCARLETT by Alexandra Ripley, It's supposed to be a sequel to Gone with the wind..Its pretty good too..Only a little hasty, they don't take the story on slowly, always rushing into things. But nevertheless, it was a good book, you can actually compare it to the original.

Answer 8

I absolutely love that book. I don't remember how old I was when I first read it, but I did read it in one sitting, meaning I got no sleep that night. Then, I did a truly horrible thing: I went and got the sequel: Scarlet. I guess everyone's entitled to their own mistakes.

Answer 9

Yes, I read it when I was about your age. (That would be about 33 years ago. LOL) You are a quick reader!
Compared to current epics, Scarlett and company are pretty good reading. ; )

What did you think of Ashely Wilkes?!?

What do you plan to read next?

Margaret Mitchell died before she could write anymore. Too bad by half.

Answer 10

sure i have study lengthy previous With the Wind. i recognize you aren't any further Rhett Butler, because he does no longer say, "i'm merely splendidly form ain't I?" He ought to assert something like, "Take this hankerchief, under no circumstances in any disaster have I conventional you to have a hankerchief." OR "you choose to be kissed and many times and with suggestions from someone who knows how." Ain't merely ain't Rhett Butler's type, even if he's from Charleston. with suggestions from the way, to the guy above me, it isn't carry close Rhett....it is, "Mister Rhett you iz undesirable." it really is asserted with suggestions from Mammie.
