What Members Thought
One of those books you wonder why the hell you hadn't read it sooner. Brilliant - right up there with To Kill a Mockingbird and Anne of Green Gables.

One way to feel better about your life is to read about a poor family in early 1900s Brooklyn that lives on 5 cents a day and goes without many things we take for granted (like literacy, electricity, new clothes, and stable employment).
This book was also lovely from plot and prose points of view also.
