Sense and Sensibility 4 days ago

Just got two beautiful copies of this book – one new and that’s 101 years old. Going to read the new one and admire the old one.
Am going to aim to finish it by the end of the month.

Tres libros 3 weeks ago

I’ve read Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Pride and Prejudice. I have three left: Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, and Mansfield Park. They are all on my shelf waiting. Sense and Sensibility is actually on my nightstand because I might start it soon.

Pride and Prejudice - check 2 months ago

I have yet to watch the movie & tv mini series [nom Colin Firth. I’m close to finding it on the internet I can’t wait for a rental dvd to arrive. I only just now finished the book as well]

I am indeed in love with Mr Darcy. & I can’t possibley write anymore because I want to see Mr Firth acting. I can’t wait, I’m impatient.

I’m done :)
I just finished Mansfield Park which was the last novel I needed to read, i thought it was a good book to end with although Emma is most definitely my favourite, closely followed by pride and prejudice and then sense and sensibility is the 3rd best in my opinion. I have very much enjoyed doing this goal and feel really pleased to say that I have read all of Jane Austen’s novels :) I didn’t enjoy Persuasion particularly, however I still think it was worth reading and all her other novels were amazing, Something tells me I shall be doing this goal again in the not too distant future :)

Convenient 4 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! 4 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 4 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?
