Little Women is number one on my list. And the C. S. Lewis children's books: Narnia and The Witch In The Wardrobe. I like his non-children's books too. And loved the movie about his life......Shadowlands. I don't cry easily and this movie made me cry like a bawling baby. Commonalities among them would I guess would be spirituality and death and dying.
