I've been reading a lot of Jane Austen's Novels lately... And I love them... I'm in the middle of Emma right now... My favorite is still Pride & Prejudice though... Anyway if anyone is looking for some good books to read, I recommend any of her's...

I haven't seen it but I have heard it is really good, and to bring your tissues.

It comes out on Nov. 16th.
Six Californians start a club to discuss the works of Jane Austen, only to find their relationships -- both old and new -- begin to resemble 21st century versions of her novels.
Sounds interesting!

What a coincidence! I just mentioned Jane Austen on another thread-and then I see this one! I listened to "Northanger Abbey" on tape by pure chance-I checked it out while browsing in the library one day. But I plan to read it-if it's that interesting on tape I can only imagine it would be doubly so just sit down and read it at leisure. Jane Austen had a mastery of the English launguage I love the way she writes! I was actually going to tag you Keiya Jade, but decided to tag someone else who hadn't been seen in a while.

You are so right! "I'm going to start with "Northanger Abbey," then "Pride and Prejudice," or "Sense and Sensiblity," or whatever the library has in stock.
Count me in as another big Jane Austen fan. I haven't read Northanger Abbey either, and was just thinking about doing so. I'm slowly collecting as many of her books in hardbound as possible, and Barnes and Noble is helping, with their hard bound lower priced classics.
Betts01, It would be nice if you could find a really old copy of one her books; one that's falling apart at the seams. I love finding old books. They had different binding then. When the book came apart the binding was something like a coarse fabric, cheesclothe or something. If the covering of the book tore up, the binding would keep it together; they don't make books like that anymore!

Oh yeah you do! I bawled like a little baby. All though watching the movie made her books make so much sense. How can you write like that if you can not get into the characters head. Great romance movie.
Anyone seen the "Jane Austin Book Club" yet? Any good?

Yes I have.. I also read the book, and well I actually liked the movie more than the book. But it was only a'ight. (I only really watched it cuz Hugh Dancy was in it)
