"Little Women", of course.

I read the Bobbsey Twins, after I ran out of Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. The interesting thing about reading when I was growing up was the selection.
I lived in a small town that was thirty miles from the metropolis (population: 17,000 -- the metropolis that is, my town was only 586). Our library was in two rooms. I don't know if I would have read the Bobbsey Twins or not today given the much wider selection on the net. I'm sure it was much too kiddish for someone as mature as I was
. However, back then, if you were hooked on reading you read what you could get, and I quite enjoyed them.
