Thanks for starting the thread!

I read this book when I was in my early teens I think and I remember thorougly enjoying it. I've been in the mood for a re-read, see if I still love it.

Now I remember having a book that had a side story or something similiar with one of the girls.

I read it as a child, and the sequel Jo’s Boys.

But I have seen the movie with Winona Ryder many times.

It always makes me cry.

I haven't read this book in years. I end up watching the Winona version more.

It’s faster to see the movie than a reread. Wonder if there are good audiobooks for Little Women.

I got a free one from Penguin that has Christina Ricci as the narrator.

ooh I bet that audiobook would be great

I love this book. I love all the movie versions too (including the TV one with Maya Hawke on PBS a few years ago ). The musical is also (you can find old clips on YouTube). It's a good winter/autumn reread.

Does anybody have a favorite character?

Same. I loved Jo as a kid (still love her) but also appreciate Amy too. And Meg. And Beth. And Laurie.

Not yet. I'm so bad. I have ebooks and audiobooks waiting for me on my iPad

The PBS version was enjoyable too. I think Maya made a good Jo.

I love Jo because she made me want to get into creative writing. But I also like Amy and get bummed when people hate on her.
