It's been fun following all the reviews for the challenge.<br /><br />Paperback Reader - This was a hard book for me to locate. It wasn't in the library or local bookstores...had to go to amazon.<br /><br />Darlene - It is a fun image...two guys discussing Jane Austen! Hope you have it in your library. None of the Two Guys books are carried in ours :-(JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-28800469794482285582009-08-17T17:43:20.065-04:002009-08-17T17:43:20.065-04:00Ann - There must be many other things we miss all...Ann - There must be many other things we miss all these years later. I see so much benefit to that interdisciplinary approach you mentioned.<br /><br />Book Psmith - Oh well, Austen isn't for everybody. Maybe the annotated approach will work. When I started my first Jane Austen novel, reading aloud really helped...at least until I got into the rhythm her language.<br /><br />Molly - This book was definitely fun, but it also gave me a few things to think about. I'd hoped to get to the annotated P&P this summer, but time is rapidly running out. It may have to wait until fall.<br /><br />Lezlie - It was!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-50013196758669076182009-08-17T08:03:25.813-04:002009-08-17T08:03:25.813-04:00I'm loving the image of these two gentleman di...I'm loving the image of these two gentleman discussing Austen! I would have to say that at least once a month, usually while vacuuming, I ponder Austen's brilliance as an author. So young, living a fairly quiet life, she wrote these stories that entertain us still. Fabulous review JoAnn, I will be keeping an eye out for this book.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415316482631852565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-54962693033505806342009-08-17T06:09:47.917-04:002009-08-17T06:09:47.917-04:00This sounds so much fun!

I think I will very much like this book as I have never been a part of a book club and I would love to hear how old friends actually discuss literature.<br /><br />I have read the Annotated Pride and Prejudice and I greatly enjoyed the historical facts that helped me appreciate the time period in which the book was written.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-54105649442152396932009-08-16T12:47:19.664-04:002009-08-16T12:47:19.664-04:00I have to admit I am not a big fan of Austen (it i...I have to admit I am not a big fan of Austen (it is probably not fair to base my feelings on one book and I know I should try another) but this sounds fascinating. It is an interesting point about the annotated versions. I have to read Shakespeare that way or I would never get understand what is going on. Even though it might slow up my reading, I am wondering if it would help me get Austen.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387313238448432017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-43738094728032167122009-08-16T09:59:55.778-04:002009-08-16T09:59:55.778-04:00I think this is a very valuable point you're m...I think this is a very valuable point you're making. I was writing yesterday about the Masters Programme in Shakespeare Studies that I will be taking this September and commenting on how much our approach towards studying Shakespeare has changed over the past twenty or so years. Many of the courses are now taught in conjunction with the History Department precisely so that important details such as these aren't missed.Table Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132815228630780151noreply@blogger.com
