I finished Eight Cousins and I am just about to start Poor Folk by Fyodor Dostoevsky for an LT Group Read.

#19 - Eight Cousins by Louisa may Alcott - *****

I finished Tribal Scars by Ousmane Sembene and I am about to start reading Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott, and I continue listening to Herzog by Saul Bellow.

I haven't read Eight Cousins but I have read The Big Idea. (Trying to help you out here foggi....)

I havent read Mediation Principles Process Practice But I have read Eight Cousins

Narnia LOTR Half Magic Wrinkle in Time Secret Garden Louisa May Alcott, especially Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom, Jo's Boys and An Old Fashioned Girl

... Two Little Women, Polly of Pebbly Pit, and a special favorite, Prudence of the Parsonage and its sequels. Oh--also Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom. And The Black Stallion series!

... it that well. Be sure and come back to share your reactions. I read Louisa May for my first two books this year, Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom. I have to get in the attic and get my box of my children's books down to catalog (and reread) soon!

Book #1 for the new year is Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott. Yes, a reread, but it has been at least twenty-odd years since I last read it. I had been wanting to read some of my old children's classics, all in a box in the attic and not added to my library yet, but I was at my sister's house ...

Definitely To Kill a Mockingbird, simply a great book. Also Louisa May Alcott--I like her lesser known Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom. Agatha Christie is good if you like mysteries; there are lots of other series, e.g., the Spenser novels by Robert B. Parker. Try Isaac Asimov--the Fou ...

... Little Men. I would not bother with Jo's Boys unless you are going to read all of Alcott's work. I also really like Eight Cousins and its follow up Rose in Bloom as well as Jack and Jill and An Old Fashioned Girl. If you prefer to read some of Alcott's recently discovered ...

Since I was back home over the holidays, I read Eight Cousins on New Year's Day, and followed that up with Rose in Bloom} the next.

Opening my thread here. My first four books are: Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott Ambulance Ship by James White Mort by Terry Pratchett

My first two books for 2009 were Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott. I was home for the holidays and there they were--hadn't read them in decades. Still fun, but my definition of old lady has definitely changed! (Aunt Peace and Aunt Plenty are "old ladies" at 50)

Of course I had to go ahead with Rose in Bloom next! I find it not quite as strong a story as Eight Cousins, perhaps because this book was written more to answer the question of what became of the characters in the first book rather than arising from the situation itself as in the first book. St ...

Oh you are tugging at MY heartstrings. When I was a young teenager I read and re-read Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom. I must see if they are still at Mom's house the next time I visit because you have pushed them onto the TBRR pile. Happy Reading.

My Mom had Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom--really old editions--and I inherited them. I have read most of the "famous" Alcott books but have never read these. I think now I will have to find time for them soon. These were her favorite Alcott books.

... abuses than of the fantasy. I still have all my Alcott books, I love revisiting them every once in awhile. I think Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom are my favourites of hers. Little Women was the last book I read to my daughters before they decided they were too old to be read to ...

#8 - I read Little Women, Eight Cousins and Under the Lilacs as an 11 or 12 year old and just adored them. I should probably revisit them too at some point. I'm glad to know so many of you know Hans Brinker, too. I thought it might be regional or something.

#17 -- Ah, no! Mac is the best! He improves so vastly between Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom, whereas Charlie was always kinda slick and insincere.

I really liked Eight Cousins by Loisa May Alcott when I was a kid. If it weren't up in the Attic of Horrors, I think I'd read it again this weekend just to see if I'd still find it as likeable today.

44. Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott - great fun if a bit preachy. Reading sequel next - Rose in Bloom.

Englishrose, I bought Rose in Bloom in a Virago recently: it and Eight Cousins were among my favorites as a girl. Like many other Louisa May Alcotts, it was lost in the process of coming to maturity. (Speaking comparatively.) I was fortunate enough to happen upon it in Cambridge, Mass., ...

Nearly 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.

November 9, 1965. I was reading Eight Cousins when the lights went out.

... favorites so I had to read the book. The movie is better. Maybe that's because I love old scifi/horror movies. #39 Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott, 270 pages I had started this particular book and put it down. I finally had the chance to finish it. Total Pages = 13033

Okay, some suggestions: I see you're read Eight Cousins by Alcott, so I would recommend the sequel, Rose in Bloom -- those are my favorite of her books; I like them better than Little Women/Little Men/Jo's Boys, though all Alcott is good. Try The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, and The Li ...

... Gables and Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle, and Little Women and Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott. Roverandom by J.R.R. Tolkien is another gem, although not very long. Good for you for reading aloud - it's priceless!!
