I loved <i>Cold Mountain</i> but I've still got <i>Thirteen Moons</i> sitting on my TBR pile, making sad eyes at me that I haven't read it yet.<br /><br />It's been a long time since I've read it, but I remember just getting caught up in the language and the feeling of the book, so much so that I remember almost missing my bus stop a time or two. I think the Odyssey parallels have to be intentional, because they just work so well.<br /><br />I love the movie, too - I remember there being some hubbub over Jude Law's "wooden" acting, and I just thought "Well, but that's exactly how Inman's supposed to be."Fyreflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267651786697866292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345341059185062738.post-77601758452053265112009-07-07T11:20:12.486-05:002009-07-07T11:20:12.486-05:00Lisa is right -- Gone With the Wind is amazing. Th...Lisa is right -- Gone With the Wind is amazing. The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara is wonderful too. Loved it. The follow up novels by his son aren't quite as good, but they are okay.<br /><br />John Jakes also has a series of books that starts with North & South. Loved it too. That series has three books, I believe.<br /><br />There are also a couple of books within a series about the civil war that I really enjoyed. Miriam Grace Monfredo has a series about a librarian in Seneca Falls, NY -- historical fiction that starts with the Seneca Falls Women's Convention in 1846 and follows chronologically through a lot of history including the civil war.<br /><br />Geez.

It's also the only one I've read, but I've read it multiple times so does that count?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.com
