I have finished reading all of the novels of Jane Austen it was such fun. It is weird that it took me so long to start. Now I feel like I have missed a million other books.
Anyway, my favourite was Northanger Abbey. I also really liked Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice.

My fav book is Northanger followed by Persuasion, I have not read S&S, MP and Emma yet. I am currently reading Jane Eyre, I just needed something not Austen because my surroundings thinks that I am to much Jane Austen obsessed  .. but im half way though and can strongly recommend it! |

Pish Posh, there is no such thing as "too much Jane Austen Obsessed" -- perhaps your friends are simply "Too much Jane Austen deprived", perhaps you should look at it that way.  |

Are folks ready to watch Northanger Abbey this Sunday? Of the three ITV movie adaptations, it is definitely my favorite.

I'm ready to watch it, and I hope I will like it more than I did the last version; however even the book doesn't rate amongst my favourites.

I'm celebrating by wearing my favorite NA t-shirt, which says, "Her passion for ancient edifices was next in degree to her passion for Henry Tilney." As true of me, I suspect, as it was of Catherine.  Can't wait to discuss the adaptation with all my friends here! I'm also going to be attempting to lead a discussion about it on my NA livejournal community (linked in my signature) if anybody wants to join and/or contribute over there. I'd be much obliged to you if you do, as it's a struggling little community. I'm very nervous about the cuts they may have made, however. I think it would be just our luck if the powers that be have deleted Henry's best lines. Grrr.... |
