Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell  

Here is the link to the official Margaret Mitchell House & Museum website.

If you’re looking to see the side of Georgia that is truly off the beaten path, then give Mark Sceurman’s “Weird Georgia” (Sterling) a chance. It looks at the truly unique; the totally bizarre and absolutely interesting part of the world in Georgia that is seldom seen… or even appreciates. Things are weird everywhere and Sceurman tells it like it is!

If you’re looking to see birds of another feather… that is the beautiful birds that call this land home, or just make a stop during their migrations, Georgia is a bird watchers dream location. And “Birds of Georgia Field Guide (Our Nature Field Guides)” by Stan Tekiela (Adventure Publications) provides details on the various feathered friends, with facts on their migration patterns and best spotting places.

Of course to really get a taste for Georgia there is only one book necessary to read. Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind” is filled with memorable and fully developed characters, which led soap opera lives that practically established the genre. While known to many people through the equally epic movie version, the book offers a interesting look at Atlanta at the time of the Civil War that is just as powerful and larger-than-life as the big screen retelling.
