"Girls, have you got nice pocket-handkerchiefs?*

Listening to it on CD audiobook, I began to think. Almost everyone who got that far admits to crying when Beth dies; but do other people cry when Jo rejects Laurie?
Also, do you think the books will endure as classics for the present generation, or will they get tossed out, along with the Little House books, by Princess Diaries fans?

Also, do you think the books will endure as classics for the present generation, or will they get tossed out, along with the Little House books, by Princess Diaries fans?

Its possible I have odd friends, but I know about a half dozen girls who are "of an age" to read both Little House and Princess Diaries. Some like both, but I know of none who have 'tossed out' Little House.

But perhaps you librarians know something we don't....
