I have a certain nostaligia (and an antique copy) for Little Women. When I was a young kid, 8 or 9, my dad had to take me to work with him for a few days for lack of anywhere else for me to stay. While there, one of his co-workers, who had no children, gave me a very old copy of the book that her mother (and grandmother) had passed through her family. It was the first time I'd read Little Women, and though I did not (and still don't) like "girls books," I enjoyed that and often find myself picking it up again around Christmas. When I sold/donated most of my DTB collection, that was one of my only keepers.
