Gone With the Wind
GWTW is a very underrated book. It is serious literature. The book is miles better than the movie (which is shallow and overlong–it should have ended at intermission).
The book presents three philosophic archetypes: a Platonist (Ashley Wilkes), a Humean-emotionalist-evader (Scarlett O’Hara), and a semi-Pragmatist, semi-Aristotelian (Rhett Butler). It’s quite philosophical, and I, at least, think the author intends Scarlett to be not a heroine but a villainness.
A book well worth reading and quite entertaining.
