In response to the question about books, I have to say yes, one. I completely destroyed my paperback copy of Gone with the Wind.
I read it over and over again. I can still recite the first few lines with (somewhat reasonable) accuracy. “Scarlett O’Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized that when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother and the heavy ones of her Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw…”
Ah. I still remember being jealous of a girl whose name was Katie Scarlett.
