I didn't know she had any! <BR/><BR/>A Little Princess, Little Women, and Anne of Green Gables have been important parts of my mental landscape for a very long time.<BR/><BR/>Did you like the movie (the newer one) of A Little Princess? I thought it was wonderful, despite the changes that normally would annoy me. Cuaron really captured the Magic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11982554.post-1118164370151947622005-06-07T13:12:00.000-04:002005-06-07T13:12:00.000-04:00YES!!!!!

Frankweiler -- it was bad 70s stuff, but worth it to see Ingrid Bergman as Mrs. Basil E.<BR/><BR/>A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver is another excellent one, though I didn't read that until adulthood.<BR/><BR/>What bowled me over in The Long Secret was the revelation, "Shy people are angry people." So true. That totally rocked my shy little world. Of course, like Beth ELlen, I had some parent issues myself...Phantom Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258384756183844406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11982554.post-1118106094844121842005-06-06T21:01:00.000-04:002005-06-06T21:01:00.000-04:00Beth Ellen.Anyone here an E.L.

Frances Hodgson Burnett! I lived and breathed those books as a child. It was so hard to pick only 5 important books!<BR/><BR/>Yes, the man with the cats is one of the most finely wrought details in all fiction! (I tend to hyperbole when it comes to Harriet.) Did you read The Long Secret, too?<BR/><BR/>I tend to read a lot of nonfiction, which isn't usually published as mass-market (except true crime, which is NOT my thing). But my dad only recently finished the last of the stripped mysteries I gave him from my bookstore job -- ten years ago!Phantom Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258384756183844406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11982554.post-1118077471785480082005-06-06T13:04:00.000-04:002005-06-06T13:04:00.000-04:00Guess.
