On 'Gone With The Wind': Devil In A Black Bombazine Dress
I read Gone with the Wind after Les Miserables and I loved that Les Mis was the book espoused by the Cause.

@Samantha This was probably the last book I read in my Civil War fiction phase. Nothing could possibly beat it. And I also had an affair with Mary Higgins Clark! My favorite was the one about the girl with multiple personalities. Her books immediately lost their appeal for me once I figured out her formula for who the bad guy was. (Hint: it was always the one you least suspect!)

@JanieS That is the only part of Scarlett that I remember, besides Scarlett and Rhett almost drowning and having survival sex on the beach.

@janiebee Hmmm, maybe if my application essay about how The Mists of Avalon changed my life was more like this, I would have gotten into NYU. I believe it was mostly about learning tolerance and being open to new ideas or something. It worked on BU at least.

@Squidman I watched that in my 8th grade social studies class. All the girls were in love with soliders, except the creepy psychic one.

I think I read Margaret George's Memoirs of Cleopatra? You'd think I'd remember but it was in high school and it might have been a different Cleopatra book. I tried to read her book on Mary Queen of Scots, but couldn't get into it. I ended up just scanning for the sex parts.
My middle school self was obsessed with Civil War young adult fiction and really anything having to do with the 19th century/American West. Thanks, Laura Ingalls Wilder.

@JennFizz Gabaldon for life! Those are my desert island books because I could read them forever.

On 'The Valley Of Horses': Once More Into The Breach
Oh lord, The Land Before Time! I wrote fanfic about it in 1st grade. All I can remember about it is that it featured Cera walking through fog and my teacher complimented me for the quality of my descriptions.
Also, I smell Ducky was like the funniest joke to me at the time. It helped balance out the uncontrollable weeping over Little Foot's dead mom.

@Limaceous Justine is the best. I always imagined her German lover looked like Gabriel Byrne's Professor Behr.

@CharlotteCorday I need to reread both of them! I started Mists last year but then gave it to my little sister (she loved it). Mists legit turned me into a teenage witch and I still toy with idea of getting a tatto of the moon symbol, just not on my forehead.
