"Booking Through Thursday"

Bookish Sarah asks:
What book took you the longest to read, and do you feel it was the content or just the length that made it so?
As I thought about this question the only book that came to my mind was "Gone With The Wind."  As I recall it took me parts of three weeks to get it read. I read it probably close to 25 years ago. If I recall correctly it is about an 800 page book, give or take a few pages.  


At that time in my life I was a busy mother with a few children still at home, also we lived on a farm, so I had farm chores to attend to. Therefore, I didn't have as much time to devote to my reading. There were a few nights I stayed up until 3 o'clock in the morning reading it. It was a difficult book to put down when I found some time to read it, which was mostly in the evenings, and into the wee small hours of some mornings. It is one of my all time favorite books.
