I was reminded of this thread the other night in a conversation with a friend.

Mine would be A Wrinkle in Time, Caddie Woodlawn, Little Women Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Christmas Memory, and most definitely A Moveable Feast. Oh, and Joan Didion's Slouching Tow ... ... I don't know why this book about Joan of Arc was such a big deal to me, but I read it countless times over a school year.
Little Women - I slept with this book under my pillow. I read it so many times over a year that the cover fell off and the pages separated. I had to tape them back together. ... >465 I read Little Women in the last couple of months for the first time since I was a kid, every word, and adored it. So yeah, people have read it.
:) Little Women. I'm not sure I've ever read it in its entirety. People say they love it, and I always wonder if they have ever actually read it, or if they're talking about one of the many movies, which I do enjoy.
I enjoyed An Old-Fashioned Girl, Eight Cousins, and Under the Lilacs. But ... ... that Jacob would imprint on her. I have the same mixed feelings about this that I have about Laurie ending up with Amy in Little Women. I never thought that Bella and Jacob would end up together, but that was an . . . interesting . . . way to keep Jacob "in the family."
I also have to say ... ... one, but I'm pretty sure the first book I picked out myself was a Nancy Drew mystery.
Several posters above mentioned Little Women. It was the last book my Mom read to me, although I was perfectly capable of reading it myself. I was in fourth grade, attending a Catholic school without much ... Little Women is one of my top 10 favorite books of all time. I still re-read it every so often. I went to Alcott's house in Concord, MA and it was such a thrill to walk through the rooms that the Alcott family lived in and to see some of the things they had kept as part of the museum. I love Little Women I too have read it many times. I had a very interesting experience when I loaned it to a young Japanese woman and discussed it with her. She was a good friend of my sons... and had never ( of course) read it.
Just thinking the title, Little Women brings back many fond reading memories. I love that book! Don't forget Jo's Boys. 26- LOL!
29- Oh, yes, Little Women made me cry so bad.
JP would tell me to throw Bridge to Terabithia in the freezer because of the...strong reaction I had to it when I was little. Just in case anyone was wondering, that isn't a good book to read late at night. Very sad. Got The Journey Home by Olaf Olafsson from a moocher today. Starting Little Women though so it'll have to go on my tbr pile. #33 Little Women - Louisa May Alcott

#34 Good Wives - Louisa May Alcott ... this new topic - what fictional characters do you think would be in the scene were they real?

Little Women is one of my favorites; I go back and re-read it at least once a year.

And then what do we do with Little Women and Secret Garden? They sure seem like period fiction now, but when they were written, they were contemporary. Do we need a third term? And if so, what would ... 27. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott ... finished Eight Cousins and will then read sequel Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott. These are both new to me. I read Little Women and its sequels when I was a child. Started book 22. Surfacing, by Margaret Atwood.
Was disappointed by Little Women in the end. I had read that Beth dies but she only got sick from scarlet fever. I understand that the UK and US editions are different- in the UK the entire story is split into two separate books- I'd need to ... ... to close itself off from the outside world when people there got the plague, and March about an idealist (the father from Little Women, although I felt that was incidental) in the Civil War.
All three are very good, though I think she gets better with each book. 100 pages left of Little Women. I could probably finish it today, but maybe at the expense of my chores, which would be a grave error as per the book. Many of the chapters end with them all resolving to try to be better citizens, after a rousing sermon, a bit like Thundercats:
- ... added Jo, ... Guess not...
How about Little Women, by Louisa M Alcott ?
Seeing as how Little Women is a children's book, I wish my copy had pictures !
I've just read the chapter where Meg is dressed up like a doll and am very curious as to the fashions of the time.
... read before. I got turned on to Alcott and her "blood and thunders" back in the late 70s, and that led me, rather late, to Little Women. I enjoy both kinds of her books -- both her "pap for children", as she rather contemptuously put it, and her vivid tales of lovers wronged and fatal revenge.
... > 87, 90
Reading Little Women for the first time is quite interesting- who would have been my younger selves favourite sister ?
I imagine 'tomboy' Jo (like George in The Famous Five), although I'm not entirely convinced that a proper tomboy would also love reading quite so much ~ Or was ... I started book #21. Little Women. Because it is a 'children's' book hopefully it will be a nice quick read- but it's still longer than Seize the Day ! wonderlake, I reread Little Women a few years back and was disappointed that it seemed so juvenile; that was not, of course, how I remembered it:-)
I needed a break after reading two books with war settings, so I picked up a YA SF novel called Taylor Five by Ann Halam aka Gwyneth Jones ... wonderlake, I confess that I love re-reading Little Women now and then. It is one of the books I enjoyed the most as a child. I hope you will like it too.
:-)) I started Little Women, by Louisa M Alcott.
I never read this when I was a child, so am not entirely sure if I'll enjoy it or if it will be too "old fashioned" for me. I finished book #77 Seize the Day, and started #78 Little Women. But I really want the new edition of the 1,001 ! > 55
why does Ian Sinclair drop Ballard's name so much ?
I finished Seize the Day, and started Little women. ... my next read :)
I wish I had a random book choice generator to pick my next reads for me !
I think I might go for Little Women, as it is in the 1,001 and that will bring me to 8/8 in my 888 book challenge. Armageddon by Leon Uris
