When I was in third grade, I took Little Women out of the school library because it was the biggest book they had. I can't even begin to figure out how many times I've read it over the years. And *that* chapter always makes me cry!
It's funny to think of the stories we enjoyed as they'd be viewed in the fandom practices of today -- we'd have the Jo/Laurie 'shippers fighting with the Amy/Laurie 'shippers! And of course, imagine all the stories about Laurie and his "tutor" (ahem) John!
And along with the needle that was "so heavy," the line that always killed me was, "The birds came back in time to say goodbye to Beth."
