Another 226 et all... March is the first Brooks novel I read because I am a fan of Little Women. I found the book a bit ho-hum. It wasn't badly written it just did not appeal to me. People of the Book is the next one I read and I loved it from the first page. I love historical fiction ( ...

#226 et al - I have to weigh in - I loved March! (and I am not necessarily a big Little Women fan). I also really liked Year of Wonders but I don't think it was nearlly as well-written. I haven't read People of the Book yet, but it's on the list . . . I am currently reading A Midwife ...

... not care for it. I agree with benitasmad about not being a big fan of take-offs on characters from previous works. I love Little Women so much that I think I resented the additional "back story" added by Brooks's work. And People of the Book? At the time I read it, I think I gave it three ...

Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. I know it's old, but there's a reason it's a classic! There is one death, but it's natural, and very uplifting. Or how about The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett? Another oldie, but goodie, with some sadness, but a happy end.

After putting it aside for several months, I picked up Little Women again this week, and I'm really getting into it. I find it hard to believe I hadn't read it until now. I'm also reading The Tory Widow, and though I've only just started, so far I'm enjoying it.

Reading has been slow this last week. I'm still in the midst of Little Women, Skeleton Crew, and The Firm. Whenever I finish one of these, I'll be starting on a couple other Stephen King novels: The Gunslinger and Lisey's Story.

There has been a discussion about Little Women going on in another thread somewhere... I too read it many times and loved it as much each time.

All of Alcott (I can still quote passages of Little Women because I read that book so many times), Laura Ingalls Wilder, Madeleine L'Engle. And interestingly enough My Side of the Mountain, which makes no sense to me as I would never in a zillion years want to live in a tree in the woods alone ...

I'm still on Can't Buy My Love, but I'm also working on Little Women and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We'll see how long it takes me to finish all three!

Perhaps it's my "Y" chromosome, but I thought Little Women had cooties. I'm re-reading Silas Marner again, for the second time in a few weeks...something struck me as I was consigning the Phryne Fisher mystery series to Eternal Perdition for the author's overuse of male pedophilia as a plot ...

I loved Little Women and when I finally discovered the sequels I read them too, though the first was always the best. I have gone on to read a lot of her other books as well - we even share a birthday.

To add to Little Women, I enjoyed it as a kiddo also, but never got all the way through it. Now I'm trying to get through it. Slowly, but I am finishing it. It is very syrupy sweet in my opinion but yes still a good book. I liked the movie version too with Winona Rider. I think little girls ...

Okay, I have to add my 2cents worth to the Little Women discussion: I have loved the book everytime I've encountered it, either in book form or movie. I love the first half more than the second, though... after they grow up, I find it less enchanting, and maybe that's because I wanted to be Jo ...

Little Women is one of those books that is definitely shared over the generations. My copy came from an elderly aunt who bought it in Concord, Massachusetts, while visiting (I believe) Alcott landmarks. I've given it to my daughter, who found another copy at a used book sale inscribed from an ...

I have liked Little Women every time I have read it.. through the decades... :)

Little Women was a book that I started many times when I was a little kid, although I never actually finished it until I was in high school. I thought the book was overly preachy at times, but part of the appeal was the fact that both my mother and my grandmother had read the book, so I felt ...

So, I'm the only person who didn't find Little Women syrupy? I read it the first time when I was comfortably into my sixties; that may be the difference. I read it because I had read March and because I am fascinated by the society of the transcendentalists. It led me in turn to read Pilgrim ...

- whymaggiemay I had the same thoughts when I re read Little Women a few months ago. Little Women will always have a special place in my heart, because it was the first "real" book I ever read. It was my mother's copy and I intend to pass it on to my daughters someday.

I finished The Terror by Dan Simmons -- loved it! I have now started Little Women so that I can read Geraldine Brooks' March. I have never read Little Women and clearly I am doing so in the wrong time of my life. I am finding it discustingly syrupy.

I would love to give The Beth Book a kind and loving home if you have had no other requests for her. belva

Many of the "classics" qualify as 'oldies but goodies" for me, including, but not limited to: "Little Women", "Little Men", "Jo's Boys"; "The Swiss Family Robinson", "Heidi", "The Secret Garden", "Alice in Wonderland/"Through the Looking Glass"; also, "Anna Karenina", "Jane Eyre" ...

Regarding feel-good fiction, I revert to childhood: Little women by Louisa May Alcott or Christy by Catherine Marshall. Or sometimes to short humor/inspiration pieces by Robert Fulghum or Philip Gulley: Front Porch Tales was his first and my favorite.

I've decided to join in this challenge a bit late. I joined the 999 challenge and picked out the books I wanted to read before hand. Of course I am now reading a book here and there that isn't a pre-selected book. I could change my 999 lists to accommodate these books easily as most still fall in ...

While at the library today I was able to obtain a copy of The Women by T.C. Boyle. I'm looking forward to reading this in the next few weeks. Have you read this one Sanddancer?

I really liked March and haven't read Little Women since I was young so that probably gave me some distance. I can't remember that the theology etc were problamatic, more that I became interested in reading more on that period of American history. I liked that she based March's character on Alco ...

I just downloaded the audiobook of Drood. Also T. C. Boyle's The Women (for which there is no touchstone yet). I have a fascination with Frank Lloyd Wright; Loving Frank was pretty bad, so I have higher hopes for this one.

... forward to reading it. Also have you read Loving Frank about Frank Lloyd Wright? If so, how would you compare it to The Women--I had that one in my hand at Borders and put it back.

Yikes! Okay, ummmm....... Little Women, any where in the book.

I do believe this is the first time I got to pick from PishPosh's library. This time I shall pick Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I bought the book not to long ago and it is on my TBR list. This might just get me to read this earlier.

I'll second the praise for Year of Wonders. When my book club chose March to read, I re-read Little Women. I did not think I would like March as well as I did. I thought she did a great job with both -- handling a very grim story (Year of Wonders) with skill and sensitivity, and adding ...

I think I'm going to choose Little Women by Louisa May Alcott from AMQS's library. I keep running across someone here on LT reading it, and I think it's time I revisit it.

... 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 anymore :-( I hadn't thought of reading Henry Huggins again, I ...

#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.

... but a bit preachier than I had remembered. Typical, Victorian young adult book, still a childhood favourite though, like Little Women.

... this depends on the book. I liked Professor Bhaer, but I still can't forgive Alcott for allowing Jo to refuse Laurie in Little Women. Don't even get me started on how he went off and married Amy. Amy!

Just finished Little Women, again. And I am finishing The Poisonwood Bible. Next 'women's' novel is Loving Frank but I think I am losing interest in current novels with a woman's pov. I want both sides.

Finished Little Women as an extra credit book for Books Made Into Movies. The other three are still in progress but I imagine it won't take me long to get through them, especially since I'm reading over 100 pages in Breaking Dawn every night it seems. Should have it done by the end of the ...

63. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The classic story of four sisters and the adventures growing up, falling in love, getting married and living happily ever after. Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy may be poor, but nothing can keep their spirits down too long, despite a war that has their father ...

My favorite book so far this year is also by Geraldine Brooks, I loved March!! It is the sort of retelling of Little Women. She tells the story of what Mr. March is doing during the Civil War while he is away from his family.

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 ...

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.

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 !
