Jane Austen

I'd be delighted to discuss Jane Austen with you. One of my favourite books is Pride and Prejudice. I have read it so often, I have memorised some of it. I believe it may be her master-work. It opens "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife." I think it's a very funny book. There are several movie versions, too; and knowing the book so well increases the pleasure of both book and movie.

I have just finished reading Pride and Prejudice. I absolutely loved reading it and I can't wait to start Sense and Sensibility.

Have you seen any of the movies made of P&P? I reckon the best is the BBC one with Colin Frith as tall, dark and handsome. I can't remember the name of the woman who plays Elizabeth, but she's good too. In fact they all are.

P&P is one of my all time favs - i challenge you to find a wasted word.
