Gone With the Wind Readalong Check-In

In which I confess I am the worst readalong hostess ever! I only managed to read one more chapter last week. Having said that, however, I don't have nearly the amount of books demanding to be read for this, that, or the other reason this coming week so hopefully I can catch up! I am enjoying the read, really I am! But this is why I tried to make the readalong informal...so none of us (read: me) have to feel bad if we fall behind for a bit! :)

Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the book is progressing for you. Everyone promised we'd love it after the first 300 pages so I want to know if that is holding true. I have to admit I really loved in chapter 8 the parallel between Scarlett and Atlanta that is drawn and the history of Atlanta, the city of my birth. ;)

Anyway, hopefully next week I'll have a much more interesting, insightful, and in-depth post.
