I loved the Gone with the Wind movie.<br /><br />I feel that movies limit our imagination and may have cut/rushed through certain parts that were (interesting) in the book. <br /><br />When I read the Memories of Geisha, oh, I spend time imagining how beautiful the motifs on the kimono might have been. Well, when I watched the movie, I was disappointed. The essence of the book was lost somewhere. <br /><br />Peg N Pighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13147833727598825146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-6274600819087515572013-07-09T22:46:36.352-05:002013-07-09T22:46:36.352-05:00Yes I love Gone With the Wind.

I'm reading A Game of Thrones now and enjoying it before I jump into the TV show so it's good to hear that it's well done.
