Convenient 5 months ago

I found an edition of northanger abbey at bookdepository.co.uk that also contains Austen’s short stories!

I am waiting for an order I placed with them, if it arrives to my satisfaction I’ll order NA there too!

(Just a little support for the site: they don’t do shipping costs and sell books for the lowest possible price. I think there is or will be soon a .com site too. Go check it out!)



Finished S&S! 5 months ago

Just finished it a couple of minutes ago. I was very surprised with Willoughy entering the scene again after the sisters left London, but it makes the story definitely more complete – as almost in every case the book is better than the film ;)

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Now only Northanger Abbey is left :)



Sense & Sensibility 5 months ago

Started reading yesterday. I already know the story more or less, because I have seen the film thousand times, but already notice the differences.

I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Marianne and Willoughby would have had a chance. Would their marriage be successful?

The same question I have with Henry Crawford and Fanny Price; if only she could have given him a chance, would he have become a better man?



Only two I haven't read... 14 months ago

-Sense and Sensibility
-Northanger Abbey

So this should be doable ;)
