Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott

I must have read this ten or more times as a child.  My mom had an old hardback copy from the 1940's that she had since her childhood and she gave it to me.  That book had a really hard life it was read so often--the cover and spine are falling off.  I have always enjoyed stories (no matter how long) that are told in such a way that the people in them become real to me and I can really get into that world.  Well Louisa May Alcott definitely has that talent!  I won't go into what my favorite parts of the book are because that would involve spoilers.
