Little Women, Louisa May Alcott

Here is a classic I never read, and I really enjoyed. I got very absorbed in the lives of the four sisters, and found it very endearing (if perhaps a bit unrealistic) how eager they are to improve themselves and be good. Overall, a good one.
Funny thing... I thought I knew the ending because of a "Friends" episode where Rachel tries to spoil the book for Joey out of spite, but I guess she was just pulling his leg and I didn't get the joke because I had never read the book! Well, now my horizons are broadened past pop culture and I actually know the ending :-).

Life of Pi, Yann Martel

This was another reread that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is the story of 12 year old Piscine Molitor Patel, zookeeper's son, castaway at sea on his way immigrating from India to Canada. That Pi has an active imagination! There are many layers to the story, and I enjoyed reading it again with a fresh perspective (I won't tell you what I mean in case you haven't read it).
