I've finished reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott yesterday, it was my first time reading this book. It's divided into two parts. Part one was very good. I thought the reason it has stayed relevant through all those years is because its competitors and imitators were unable to capture the imaginative adventures of the book, and modern books aren't so benign and sugary. Part two was not so good, and read more like a mild and unfunny satire of book one.

I need to take a break before going full speed ahead reading the next book. So I'm going to read a group read(that will stretch up till November) of Fall Of Giants, then I'll recharge my kindle. Only then will I begin As The Crow Flies, by Jeffrey Archer. It's a book from the 70's but then it's a historical fiction book so no harm done. I'm taking to big books (over 500 pages) ever since I read The Historian. I realize that by choosing well I'm guaranteed to enjoy well written chunksters for days without worrying what to read, every 3 days or so. Having said all that, maybe I'll begin ATCF tomorrow.
