Ms. Jane Austin

[LearningToLetGo]

I picked up a Jane Austin anthology at Costco and am finally reading her works, starting with "Sense and Sensibility." Presently, I am on chapter 3. So much dialogue! So much talking!

I love it.

I was at Costco yesterday and saw the anthology!! Was the one with pastel colored books?

Sense and Sensibility is a good book. Will you watch the TV adaptations? My favorite is Pride and Prejudice 2005; its absolutely perfect.

I have seen more TV adaptions than I care to count but never read the source material until now. Wish me luck!

Jane Austen is still very popular nowadays. I wonder why that is so?
