Little Women was a great book! If you're going to do an English recommendation of that, then I'd recommend that. And V.C. Andrews rocks. Especially the "Casteel" series (Melody, Fallen Hearts, Web of Dreams, Gates of Paradise and one other book...) but you wouldn't want to do a recommendation on that; with some of the provocative scenes and all...  ) Hehe.

I'm just about done with Jane Eyre (how ironic).. just a few more pages to go. The plot is very different and interesting, but all the descriptive words really bored me out at times. BUT if you like something different and a book full of surprises, read it! I recommend reading:
* Of Mice and Men (warning - it's sad!)
* My Sergei (oh another sad book! this brought me to tears)
* A Midsummer Night's Dream (my favorite Shakespeare work)
* Chicken Soup series

I recently started Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. It's a very poignant book. I highly recommend although I've heard less than stellar reviews for the movie that recently came out. Apparently, the critics felt that the film was too self-pitying and too much vomiting. I'm going off topic again.------------------

Right now I am reading "Rachel's Tears" by Beth Nimmo and Darrell Scott. This book is so good, yet sad. Rachel is the girl that was killed at Columbine, because she believed in God.  ------------------
