I think Little Women may very well have edged its way up into my top five favourite books of all time. As with many books, I half-assedly read it in my early adolescent days and never really understood it. But, reading it now again, I am so moved by all the messages in it.
Maybe it's because I've been overdosing on chick lit over the last few months, but the lack of romantic feels in Little Women is so refreshing. Instead, there are messages of the importance of family, self-respect, morals, ethics, helping others. I mean, this book should really be the bible instead of... our current bible.
