if you can believe that. As some of you know, I read aloud to my husband, and when we (I) read something about Bronson Alcott's failed utopian community, he mentioned that he'd never read any of her books. To my amazement, he's loving it.

I really shouldn't be so surprised. My husband is a real Boy Scout type, and the moral underpinnings, as well as the *order* in the March family's lives, are very appealing to him.

Any men here read Louisa May Alcott? Did the women read every book of hers they could get their hands on? I did.
