I came across this topic and was wondering whether someone has read the books on which many of Kate's movies were based.
So far, I have read Dragon Seed, Keeper of the Flame and The Sea of Grass. I'm currently reading The African Queen. I didn't think I would, but I really enjoyed Dragon Seed. The ending is somewhat different from the movie, but I really liked it.
Little Women is still on my 'to read-list'. Any more recommendations?

Little Women, The Sea of Grass, The African Queen, as well as several of the plays. Little Women is totally fantastic- one of my favorite books from the time I was a kid. Highly recommend.
