"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?

First, I'm having trouble with "who got that far"... who doesn't get that far? Hmph.

Yes...when Jo rejects Laurie, when Amy turns up and says Aunt March is taking me to Europe, when Beth gets the piano, when Father comes home.... I tend to have soggy copies of that book. But then, I cry at happy too, so there you go.

No, wait Beth and the piano... that's when watching the movie, somehow that one doesn't hit me as hard when reading the book.

Oh, and I cry a lot in Little Men and Jo's Boys, too... so there.
