I'LL JOIN! I love Jane Austen and her books! Have read Pride & Prejudice (my favorite), Sense & Sensibility, Emma, and Sanditon & Other Stories, which included some of the stuff she wrote when she was young, which is very funny indeed 
(Oh, and 2000th post!) _________________

I'd like to join as well! Even if I've only read Pride and Prejudice [blushes].
I want to read Sense and Sensibility, is it similar to Pride and Prejudice?

Well, sorta - most of Jane's books focus on courtship and marriage  There's no Lizzie-character though who you immediately love - the two main girls, imo, are both a bit lacking in likability. It's still the same kind of conflicted romance, intrigue, sly villains, and all that, though. Good read! _________________

So the movie is good? As good as Pride and Prejudice? I've seen bits of Sense and Sensibility, mainly because of Alan Rickman. ^^

^ I heard about that movie last year while I was reading AustenBlog (which is a great JA site) for P&P movie news! Like most of the visitors on that site, I was a little skeptical about the movie, because so...<i>little</i> is known about her life. Most of the movie is going to be "artistic license" It might still be good, though...who knows?
I thought the S&S movie was pretty good. It's just that the story itself isn't as good as P&P. Almost everything you expect to happen, does happen. And Snape as Colonel Brandon has never worked for me, but that's just my opinion It's still a good movie, though. Oh, and all the actors are rather too old - both wot's-her-name...Emma Thompson...and Kate Winslet were great, but not believable as 19 and 16. _________________

Not Anne Hathaway, ahe can't do a brittish accent for anything...that's like making a movie about John Cadburys and making viggo mortenson doing John.
BTW: Órelindë i've added you to the list _________________ <a href="http://www.arwen-undomiel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20020" target="_blank"><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/2ias6qf.jpg" border="0" alt="COME AND REQUEST SOME PHOTOS, OR JUST BROWSE"></a>

Anne Hathaway.... That's going to flop.
If you can't do a British accent, don't try.

Can I join?
I loved the newest Pride and Prejudice movie, I've started reading the book. The English is tough though.
Quote: thought the S&S movie was pretty good. It's just that the story itself isn't as good as P&P. Almost everything you expect to happen, does happen. And Snape as Colonel Brandon has never worked for me, but that's just my opinion It's still a good movie, though. Oh, and all the actors are rather too old - both wot's-her-name...Emma Thompson...and Kate Winslet were great, but not believable as 19 and 16.
I just loved Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon.. He was really sweet!
But were Kate and Emma supposed to be 16 and 19? I had thought them to be 21 and 24 or something..(from the movie) _________________
