I was actually kind of shocked at some of the less-than-politically-correct sections ... which of course I didn't remember from my childhood reading. Still, it encouraged some honest discussion - I definitely wouldn't edit! <br /><br />It is interesting to note, tho, that Laura's daughter - who put the books together from her Mom's dictation - actually edited out some of Laura's real life experiences (like a couple of deaths in the family). I wonder what she would have thought of the new revision???Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331017498496350753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148717864140954209.post-91244484582855358312009-05-27T11:56:47.809-04:002009-05-27T11:56:47.809-04:00Great post - Thanks!Great post - Thanks!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884797351411470248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148717864140954209.post-54144278318453914322009-05-27T11:56:38.266-04:002009-05-27T11:56:38.266-04:00Sacrilege!

My grandmother always had books tucked away in the spare guest rooms....scattered...two criteria I have for buying a book, 1)Is it classic? 2) Will I re-read it? If the answer is yes to either, then I buy it.<br />Great post!

I dream of living and eating like Almanzo Wilder's family some day...<br /><br />I'm a chronic re-reader, too, and now I don't feel so bad about it. I re-read one of four or five classics in between each 'new' book I read. <br /><br />K and I re-watch movies together, too. Sometimes you just feel like "hanging out" with some of your favorite characters for an hour or two.<br /><br />Thanks for the post.<br /><br />-JoeJoe Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360174064853004973noreply@blogger.com
