I know, I am working on that :P Well i had better end this comment... I saw a post titled "dancer" so I must go and read it. Most likely I will be sifting through all of your archives reading the day away...<br />Blessings and <3Southern Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032106441997574661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-68437795293294765812011-06-16T10:13:06.066-05:002011-06-16T10:13:06.066-05:00Oh, Rachel, darling.

Honestly, asking me to chose my favorite Austen is like asking a parent to chose a favorite child. <3Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05927558035256871985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-27639423143299148572011-06-15T23:03:33.805-05:002011-06-15T23:03:33.805-05:00"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has..."The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid." And the person who has not pleasure in a good Austen novel must be quite mad. =P<br /><br />Jane Austen is one of those clever people with whom I would have loved to had a conversation. She and C.S. Lewis are at the top of that list, actually.<br /><br />I'm in the midst of reading Mansfield Park--her only novel that I haven't read yet. It's such a perfectly delightful thing to do--to immerse oneself in one of Austen's novels.<br /><br />Also, James McAvoy is brilliant. Just sayin'. ;)<br /><br />I must ask--which is your favorite of Austen's novels? I tend to lean toward Northanger Abbey...<br /><br />~JennJenn Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489681148073963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-1774944612512903442011-06-14T02:34:38.993-05:002011-06-14T02:34:38.993-05:00I love this post!

I'll have to put the rest of them on my to-read list. :)Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436511402287102495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-19764124859392232692011-06-13T20:32:50.649-05:002011-06-13T20:32:50.649-05:00Love, love, love that movie!

I have read all but two of her books, (both are on my to-read list) and I must say that apart from feeling romantic and dreamy, I always feel more intelligent after reading them. I also think in a British accent for a while afterwards. ;) The are most definitely on my list of most beloved books. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8842811545737336269.post-58531864035899378972011-06-13T16:58:03.049-05:002011-06-13T16:58:03.049-05:00I love that quote!
