I really liked that story too.

i like that one as well.

Awww I haven't read that in forever but I think I will as soon as I have finished my Whiteout by Ken Follett ( I recommend that one too, if you like crime and erotic from different POVs)!

I love that book! I had to read it in French too - Le Petit Prince.

[cricketswife]

love it too! read it in french class as well. it also contains my all time favorite quote: "i have to endure 2 or 3 caterpillars if i wish to know butterflies"

i also have a t-shirt that i got in france with the prince on it and it says (in french of course) "all adults were once children"

ETA: whenever i finally have a baby, if it's a boy, the room is being done in The Little Prince.

I love little women

I loved The Secret Garden...Um, what's the one called (It's a Chinese/Asian) ohhh with cherry's. It's a small chinese child that runs up a hill to collect the cherries and back down again. I'm drawing a blank. Loved those. Had a set when I was little. The Value of "xxxxx" it was Hope, Faith, Charity, Love, etc. They were wonderful when I have kids someday I want them to have that set specifically....
