Facing Jane Austen

Reading Jane Austen's novels has always been a daunting task to me. Like just about every other girl on the planet I have been deeply in love with the films since I first started watching them, and as I have grown up more and can understand and relate to more of the subject matter I can safely say that I still hold that opinion today. After receiving her complete works for Christmas I finally caved into my fears and started to read Sense and Sensibility. I truly thought that i would not enjoy the book as well as I did the movie, but I was mistaken. I could barely put it down after starting it. I am starting Pride and Prejudice soon, if I can find time to read it amongst my geology class, work, and all those free nights I have from a lack of social life. I'm so booked I just don't think I could possibly find time to :)

PS For those of you who love the movies you should definitely see the BBC version of Sense and Sensibility. I still love the original with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, but the BBC version is definitely my favorite now.
