Finished March by Geraldine Brooks, which was fantastic. It's Little Women, as told by Mr. March.
It's mostly about the year he's at war, and it details what he sees and does during that time. But we also learn how he met Marmee (you know how she tells Jo she had a temper? She wasn't lying or exaggerating) and there are little bits and pieces about Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy too.
I think I preferred this to Little Women.
And, as a side note, it also won the Pulitzer Prize a couple years ago. :) So there's that, too.
Did anyone else read this and, if so, did you prefer it, too?

It's not just you. I cried reading Tom's post. I cry at everything now.
How are you liking Blue Like Jazz?
What's going on, just school stuff?
Yeah, every time they show the elderly people who are crying because they never thought they'd see this, I just start to cry. We had a story yesterday where this teenager was talking about how this is huge "because now we matter in the world" and that made me cry, too.
Here's a link to the post that made me cry: http://thetomzone.vox.com/library/post/39-years-on-earth.html
You'll like Tom; he's awesome.
