Emma is the only one of the major novels I haven't read...and, it's funny, but I seem to be 'saving it' so I don't run out of Austen novels to read for the first time.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-32180445167322913932009-09-12T11:41:52.970-04:002009-09-12T11:41:52.970-04:00Hello, it's me again. I just wanted to tell yo...Hello, it's me again. I just wanted to tell you that "Jane Austen: A Life", the one you have listed, is fabulous. My mom bought me the biography for my birthday, and I enjoyed it immensely. I was also wondering if you had read all of the Austen books (in my mind, that entails "Pride and Prejudice", "Mansfield Park", "Persuasion", "Sense and Sensibility", "Northanger Abbey", "Lady Susan", and "Emma". If you have not read "Mansfield Park", I recommend that one. It was my favorite.Madeleinehttp://madeleinerex.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-47101169827686645742009-06-29T16:44:39.032-04:002009-06-29T16:44:39.032-04:00Dar - This challenge will be a lot of fun!

I somehow missed the Masterpiece Theater S&S. I should have included that on my list of possibilities.<br /><br />Paperback Reader - I thought hard before joining this one. I had planned to read at least two of the books this summer anyway, and will watch the P&P movies with my daughters, too, so it's really just two additional activities. Lost in Austen will most definitely be one of them!!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-75574324942108887122009-06-27T15:27:40.075-04:002009-06-27T15:27:40.075-04:00I could not resist this one either.

I need to give it some more consideration. It's not that I wouldn't love to do it, because I would, but I, like you, am reluctant to commit myself to challenges at the moment as I have so many personal ones.<br /><br />The BBC P&P adaptation will always be my favourite but I loved Lost in Austen and now I have a replacement Mr Darcy for when Colin Firth is unavailable!Paperback Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579608422235511054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-35521412631259794352009-06-27T11:55:02.659-04:002009-06-27T11:55:02.659-04:00This sounds like a fun challenge and the two guys ...This sounds like a fun challenge and the two guys reading Austen sounds very interesting.
