tvordlj: (Reading Woman)

Not going to bang on yet again about my favourite author, Diana Gabaldon.
My favourite book while i was growing up was Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. I had a paperback version for years that got pretty ratty and torn up. Mom and Dad gave me a really nice hardback edition for Christmas one year in my 20s. I still have it. I used to read the book probably every year but i haven't in a long, long time. I don't know what really appealed to me but when i was a young teen first discovering it, i suppose i could identify with the four sisters. I cried over the death of gentle Beth, i sympathised with Jo dealing with her annoying little sister (but loved her anyway!!!!!! right [livejournal.com profile] sammantha? ;) I loved the romanticism of Meg and Amy both finding love. I never really identified with the religious overtones, the "Pilgrim's Progress" comparisons and the like. The whole cast of characters just worked so well and seemed timeless even though it was writting in the mid 1800s. I never enjoyed any of the other books by LMA, mind you. It just wasn't the same. Hmmm. Now i've got it on my mind, i should get it out and reread it once more!
