Little WomenLouisa May Alcott
How is it that I never read Little Women until I was in my 30s? This is one that most every girl has read sometime in their life, and I'm glad I finally did. Let me say first of all that I struggle with the classics. My mind wanders easily, so if I have to concentrate at all, it's hard for me. Not that this book is all that difficult to read, but it definitely wasn't a "pick-me-up-and-read-me-in-2-days" kind of book.
I actually own a copy of this. And I know I've started it many times before, but never made it past the beginning. I'm so glad I stuck with it this time, though, because I really loved this book. I laughed, I cried - and really, it has some great things in it that I thought I need to apply to my life today. And it really made me wish for a simpler life, where evenings were spent sitting around the fire with sewing in my hands. If you haven't read this book before, you definitely need to!

I read this a LONG time ago (I think when I was in fifth grade!) and started reading it over New Years at my parents' house but didn't bring it home with me. Guess I should get it and finish it again. I do know that I loved the movie version of it (with Claire Danes are Beth and, I think, Kirsten Dunst as Amy). Such a good story.
Omigod I love love LOVE this book. I read it several times as a kid. I love the movie, too, and while both versions are good the original one with Elizabeth Taylor is my fave!
