How Many Have You Read?
AbeBooks: Great Depression Literature: Bestselling Novels 1929-1939: The Great Depression, which for the sake of argument we will neatly define as 1929 to 1939, was a tumultuous era that began with the Roaring Twenties going out with a whimper and ended with the turmoil of World War II. This period of intense hardship for many also yielded some of the most interesting and lasting literature from the previous century.

I've read three, and seen the film version of a few more.
Ditto, Rick. I was going to ask if the movie version counts.

Of the books pictured, I've read eight. Did I miss GONE WITH THE WIND? I didn't see it, but I'm surprised it wasn't one of the best sellers of the 29 - 39 decade.
It should be there, all right. I thought it was a huge seller. Didn't it win the Pulitzer, too?
