I grew up on the Little House series. In a family with 4 closely-spaced kids, the downstairs bathroom was the only quiet place to read, and the books were all up on the ledge by the window, so we all read and re-read them all.

I just finished reading Rebecca by Daphne du Marier - at my wife’s insistence - and it was superb.

If you loved Rebecca you will love The House on the Strand by du Marier as well. One of my all time most memorable books.

I read the whole Little House series. Somewhere in my stack of stuff is a first printing of LHOTP. It’s in very poor condition.

A few weeks ago, I was teaching a continuing education course to about 75 people in my industry and referenced something I had learned reading Laura Ingalls Wilder when I was a kid.

I loved the Little House on the Prairie series. As a child I also read one about a Sheriff, not nearly as good as the Little House series, but each book progressed to a higher reading level. It was a good series to develop reading skills.

I enjoy mystery novels. In the past few years most of the mystery novels I have read contain at least one nice gay guy. Often he appears in only one or a few scenes and is totally irrelevant to the plot. Maybe it is just a coincidence since the novels have been by different authors and publishers. But it does seem almost like a "requirement".

We read the Little House to our kids.
Mostly we were of the opinion that the Father was nuts - he almost got his family killed on several occasions; the worst was when they nearly starved to death during the great blizzard.
As soon as he and his family got established anywhere, he’d pull up stakes and move on into some other wild situation. Completely nuts.
