has anyone read this book? You may have heard of the mini series made in 1983, but it was origionally a book by Colleen McCullugh. It's very very long, but sooooooo good! There's drama, drama drama, and all that good stuff. I HIGHLY recommend you reading it rather than watching the movie. I haven't ever seen the movie, but it sounds like it's based more on one of the story lines of the novel, instead of focusing on all of the other characters like the novel does. now go read it! GO GO GO!
