Your posts "look funny"

I've noticed that all of your posts "look funny."  You have dashes and underscores between all the of the words.  Have you checked with the "techies" to find out what is causing this?  It makes it difficult to read your posts.

I have been thinking about

I have been thinking about buying this one.  My husband likes audiobooks but I think I might need the print version.  I can't concentrate well with audiobooks.  I guess it is an acquired skill?

Great review

Aurelene --

I wondered how this book was and appreciate your great review.  I'm always amazed when people do a companion book to a long-loved book; it seems like it would be difficult to get it right.  Sounds like this one hit home though.

I'd be interested in this

I'd be interested in this one. GWTW was one of those movies that I had mixed feelings for. On one hand, it's a must see classic, but on the other hand... beyond her beauty whatever did Rhett see in Scarlett? I mean sure, she had moments where she was redeemable but for the most part? yuck.
