I have bought a pink book

Orchard House (Main Title) by Thomas Newman Listen on Posterous

Yup.  I now own all three Little Women books.  A nice fat pink Little Women in Puffin edition from 2008 with plenty of helps and stuff, the Signet Classics Little Men I got for last weeks' class, and Jo's Boys in the help-free Puffin Classics from the 1980s.

And the movie is so very darling and sweet.  And written by the writer/director of the superb The Jane Austen Book Club.  Have some musics!

(Other books recently acquired: Return of the Dapper Men, a decoupage comic book by Jim McCann and Janet Lee, The Host by Stephenie Meyer - actually quite nice, significantly improved from Twilight, a C. P. Snow novel - was interested and it was cheap and pretty, T. S. Eliot's hilarious poetry in Jellicle's Book of Practical Cats, Tolkien's Alan Lee illustrated The Children of Hurin - the story is dreadful, but the pictures are to die for, and two childhood favorites, Detectives in Togas and The Pushcart War.  Books are good.)
