I've found her books to be the only books aside for the Bible that I can read over and over again. I get lost in the beauty of words no longer in our daily vocabularly as well as the manners we rarely see displayed today. I've so far read and re-read atleast twice, Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, and Persuasion, talk about the greatest letter ever written declaring one man's love for a woman and that would be Captain Frederick Wentworth's writing to Miss Anne Elliot, "...You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own, than when you almost broke it eight years and a half ago..." I swear my heart stops each time I read that part! Yes, I'm a serious Jane Austen geek!

Perhaps I'll try again some other time, but for now I'll just stick to absolutely adoring the movies! (Sense and Sensibility is my favorite, with the A & E Pride and Prejudice in second).Sarah Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079648125245754566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768302559422677049.post-67271264073566451962008-07-01T09:30:00.000-05:002008-07-01T09:30:00.000-05:00Oh how I wish I had time to read...

Although I did make it through Liz Curtis Higgs' Scottish dialect in her Thorn In My Heart trilogy. Hmmmmmm. Maybe I should read some Jane?Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420323636035062088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768302559422677049.post-18854167601551963532008-06-30T20:03:00.000-05:002008-06-30T20:03:00.000-05:00That was really cute....I am too a forever friend ...That was really cute....I am too a forever friend but never read - fan.
