It's Thursday, it's time for Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop. I could not resist writing about my favorite book. In my opinion this should be mandatory reading for every young lady. I have lost count of how many times I have read this and watched the movie. Books are not written like this anymore, a little romance, sex, humor, history, culture, and will stir every emotion we have.
Prissy: Lawzy, we got to have a doctor. I don't know nothin' bout birthin' babies.
Scarlett: I can shoot straight, if I don't have to shoot too far.
Rhett Butler: I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.
Scarlett: Great balls of fire. Don't bother me anymore, and don't call me sugar.
Rhett Butler: No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.
Scarlet: I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.
Scarlet: Rhett, Rhett...Rhett, if you go, where shall I go" What shall I do"
Rhett Butler: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Of course it's Gone with the Wind. It could be nothing less. After 50 years it is still my favorite.

Mammy (before the picnic): "What gentlemen says and they thinks is two different things."

I read it once when I was younger and it was wonderful. I loved the non-happy ending. Did you ever read the follow up written by a different author. Not so great.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Mama Kat's.
okay. That makes me want to read it :) *puts the book on her list that's growing incredibly long with that writer's challenge prompt*
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've been thinking I need to re-read that. I first found it years ago and loved, loved, loved every stinking word.
