Heyyyy, don't diss Little Women!! Hmm, everyone hates the books I loved back in the day... what's wrong with this world??? One book I loved is The Secret Garden... *sigh* I lost that book. Moby Dick is allright, not my favourite though. Oh, I just thought of a book I read recently that I liked! Hound of the Baskervilles, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!

who wrote them?
Emily Rodda. There are eight books, but they have special editions with all of them pieced into two. You cannot skip even one, because it would destroy the shock at the end. It's been awhile since I've recommended something this excitedly.
Granted, sometimes they do get dull during the meat of the story. But it's worth it to get to the end. Trust me.

Well, they're worth the effort. And it doesn't take much at that. I read all eight in a day and a half. I got a headache.  But it was worth it.

Mmmmhm. That's my favorite genre. Hence, my Final Fantasy/Fire Emblem addictions.

I've never played Final Fantasy or anything, but I think fantasy is my favourite genre too. Have you read anything by Tamora Pierce? She wrote stuff like Protecter of the Small, Beka Cooper, and Trickster's Choice. Her books are really interesting!

So do you actually like philosophy, or do you have to read that for school?
Lacey, Pride and Prejudice is really good!! So are Austen's other books, of course... so you're really hating Little Women?

Oh, okay, my mistake!! Glad you like it then! I don't think Jo could EVER turn really girly. In the other books she has like a whole buncha boys, and yeah, she's SO not girly.
