There's a Henry James that intrigues me as well. <br /><br />I read Lady Susan about a year ago and really enjoyed it -- Lady Susan is just wonderfully monstrous, by far one of Austen's most despicable creations. My edition also included Sanditon and The Watsons, by Lady Susan was by far my favorite.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-34351184190285568632011-08-03T19:56:16.947-04:002011-08-03T19:56:16.947-04:00I'll take "crazy!"
