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 :p 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. ^^

hey i don't know if any of you know this, but they're making this movie called Becoming Jane, it's about Jane Austen's life and her romance with an Irishman....Anne Hathaway stars as Jane Austen :) it comes out sometime in 2007

^ 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" :p 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 :p 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.

What? 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

Anne Hathaway.... That's going to flop.

If you can't do a British accent, don't try.

Post subject: 
Great, they need someone with the accent! Anyway, may I jion? Im reading Pride and Prejudice right now, I finally got my hands a hold of a copy...Its really good, quite different then litature these days.

I loved the newest Pride and Prejudice movie, I've started reading the book. The English is tough though.

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)

Anne Hathaway? Shouldn't they use someone who's well, English? :confused:
