Gone with the Wind | Margaret Mitchell, Pat Conroy

Time to ‘fess up. 😟

I started it in January as my chunkster read for the year. By April I‘d kind of #goneaway and haven‘t gone back since. I was enjoying it, but chunksterphobia got the better of me. I finally admitted last month that I really wasn‘t currently reading this one. Maybe next year? 🤔🤥

JennyM Chunksterphobia is so real! 6y
rockpools @JennyM I have it bad! 6y
Cinfhen Ha!!! I call it #PageCountPhobia and it‘s REAL!!! I did read this book BUT only because the awesome #DarguschGirls had my back @Reviewsbylola @Mdargusch @emilyhaldi @Meredith3 and honestly it was a #ROUGHroad 6y

Cinfhen I did end up liking it and I‘m glad I finished but those pages didn‘t stop😣🥺 6y
rockpools @Cinfhen 😂😂😂 I think you all inspired me to try it. Seriously, it annoys the life out of me! It‘s only like 3 ‘normal‘ books. Why is it so difficult??! 6y
TrishB I have #smallaphobia I literally feel I can‘t read a book less than 300 pages!! 6y
Cathythoughts Great pick I loved the movie ! Don‘t think I could tackle the book 👍🏻. I definitely like a book to be at least 200 pages ... & generally not more than 400ish ... but if it‘s more that‘s ok too @TrishB 6y
gradcat Isn‘t this one of those rare cases where the movie was better than the book? And much shorter....😂 6y
Cinfhen Once you get to page 650 the story really picks up 😂😂😂😂😂😂 6y
rockpools @TrishB How do we EVER read ANY of the same books??! 6y
rockpools @Cathythoughts I think 2-400 is my comfy place too 📚 6y
rockpools @gradcat I think the film‘s still about 3 hours - which is a good hour longer than I need my movies! Haven‘t seen it 😑. Well I‘ve probably seen the first hour... 😂😂😂😂 6y
rockpools @Cinfhen YOU‘RE NOT HELPING!!!!! 😂😂😂 6y
Tanisha_A @TrishB Hahahah! Too cool 😎 6y
AsYouWish Oh my stars! I thought I was the only one! I started it in September and then stopped in October, I decided yesterday that it probably wasn't going to happen and thought I would try again at some point. 6y
Reviewsbylola Love this one. But @Cinfhen ‘s comment about page 650 had me rolling. 🤣🤣 6y
gradcat @RachelO Oh. My. God. I don‘t think I‘ve ever known anyone who hasn‘t seen “Gone With the Wind!” This really shows me how utterly ancient I am! Oh well, I just have to be happy being an #oldasdirt litten 😂😂😂 6y
MayJasper I hope this is correct 'frankly my dear I don't give a damn' 6y
MayJasper I meant to say I loved the ending which I attempted to quote. It wasn't an opinion on people's comments! Oops 6y
TrishB Rachel- we obviously convene at the 400page cut off 😁 6y
TrishB @MayJasper 😂😂 6y
TrishB @gradcat this was my mums fav film - I think I‘ve seen it twice a year for about 20 years!! 6y
MayJasper I think I have #smallaphobia too @TrishB 6y
TrishB @MayJasper I hear myself muttering this could be a magazine when I get a tiny book!! 6y
MayJasper @TrishB I feel short changed if a book turns out to be on the thin size! 😀 6y
emilyhaldi Ha, I don't blame you here!!! It was my love for the characters that kept me reading this chunkster... If they aren't holding your attention though perhaps it's best to just forget if 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y
gradcat @MayJasper I knew what you meant...because I‘ve seen it a kajillion times, too, like @Trishb ... meanwhile these comments are keeping me grinning! 😊😊😊 6y
Mdargusch You are so funny. I have #chunksterphobia too though. @Cinfhen (edited) 6y
rockpools @AsYouWish Definitely not just you! One day... 😂😂 6y
