Joseph Fountain | 296 comments Three Men in a Boat It would require a title change, or mayhaps I'd just throw George out.

I am back to Heidi again. My father's mother lived in a summer vacation community called Fontana Village in the North Carolina Smokey Mountains. She was the "secretary" for the buisness. Today she would be called the "manager". There were cabins, minature golf, hiking, plays, square dancing at a community center, a pool, horseback riding on trails, paddle boats on the lake, planned activities like evening softball on the baseball diamond.... There was a shuttle to take residents/visitors around the resort. I loved Heidi and I loved going to the Smokey Mountains. The two are mixed up together in my happy childhood memories.

[book:Little Women|1934. I love the idea of that ideal group of sisters, all the love and harmony, each rooting for one another all the time, and the mother, so loving and encouraging. Then the setting is perfection, there is a good male friend to even things out a little. Yes, I could live there.

Wreade1872 | 933 comments I think i think too much, cause they all seem like bad ideas when i consider them, even Wind in the Willows, oh it seems nice unitl i remembered the weasels :P .
Maybe The Long Earth by Baxter, Pratchett. Very disappointing book series but great idea. You can step from one reality to an infinite number of parallel earths. Its nice to have options :) .
