note: have you ever read 'gone with the wind'? i just watched a pbs documentary on margaret mitchell and i felt validated because i have actually suffered through reading the thing. sorry, i like austen. she has happy endings. if i'm going to read 700 pages i like to be rewarded with an emotional smile even if it isn't plausible in reality. but the documentary was interesting. i did like the movie too. mammy is my favorite. i love how she tells it like it is. best line: you were there waiting for him like a spider.
i also started watching the pbs series (or bbc series) 'call the midwife'. it's an obvious plug for the national health service (i've seen two episodes with literally a dialogue plug in each, just an observation) but it's well done so far and i think it's based on memoirs. i've got to get my hands on those. the best shows/movies always inspire you to read. if i ever finish 'girl of the limberlost'.
