"Don't let's talk about that right now"

Listening to Gone With the Wind has been delightful. I love hearing phrases like, "Oh how you do run on!" or "Don't let's go home just yet." My favorite parts of the book by far are Rhett Butler and Scarlet O'Hara/Hamilton/Kennedy's conversations. Scarlet drives me nuts. I can't relate to her at all and would never be her friend in real life. Similarly, I don't think Rhett and I would ever get along, but he's the most fun and honest character despite what the other characters say about him.

I'm almost 2/3s through the book (I'm on CD 27 of 41) and I started in the beginning of February haha. It is so long and boring in parts but Rhett makes the whole book worth it. Have any of you actually read the whole thing? What do you think?

more Harry Potter, please

Lately I've taken to listening to books on tape - er, cd - on my way to and from work. Imagine my delight when my mom offered to let me borrow some of her books on tape, including Harry Potter! Now I'm on  I end up listening to it wherever I am (especially at home).

I love Jim Dale, I think he's absolutely amazing. Of course, JK Rowling is genius. Reading the books when I'm older, I can appreciate how well-written they are too! It's just perfect. Life is perfect. Sadly, I'm more than halfway through book three and I feel like I just started yesterday! It doesn't matter that I've already read them 4 or 5 times. I'm just as hooked as ever. Thank goodness for a library that keeps me satisfied. I don't want it to end!
