Quote: I have this too, but haven't found a good block of time to read it. Bad habit of reading a book in its entirety in one sitting - though I have gotten a little better about "putting the book down" so I can get some sleep. More incentive to start reading it when it is given a good review by others.
*My teen daughter read "Gone With The Wind" last year for an American Author paper for school. She didn't want to read it, but I told her she'd love it. Funny thing is, she Did love it!
My DH is a constant reader, I couldn't believe he had never read some of my favorites. Looking back, I guess they were girlie book, love stories................but great adventures too.
I made him read Gone With the Wind, The Thorn Birds and Shogun, three of my favorite epics. The first time I read The Thorn Birds, the minute I read the last word, I turned back to page one and read straight through a second time. Shogun, I read it a second time, but stopped just short of................you'd know if you've read and loved it. I couldn't read that part again and never finished it the second time. He was pretty upset when he got to that part as well.
