The Charlotte Mason method incourages the use of "living books" which feed enthusiasm for life and learning about nature and one's own place in it. Contrast this with the effect of a text book, which can suck the life right out of you!

Little Women
So far this is a wonderful, edifying read. The movie I recall with Winona Rider (and other prominent stars) didn't quite convey the spirit of this work. Too bad she got top billing. I wish the mother's role would have been featured more. The book quotes Pilgrim's Progress and Scripture, emphasizing character development and strong family ties despite societal pressures to be trendy and follow (or make!) the latest gossip. It may be interesting to watch the movie after we've finished.
