I read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Jo is a girl with the kind of spirit I admire. She's free spirited, does what she pleases, and that is huge in 1860 when the book is set. She's is a lovely person too.There's also my ridiculous hope to write something one day, so that doesn't hurt. I would love to be Jo. (This edition has Little Women (part 1) and Good Wives (part 2) combined, even though it shows up as part 1/2 on GR.)

and
for 6. Read a book with Fantasy as a main genre.
I read number9dream by David Mitchell.
