Jane Austen Book Club
That's right...I'm in one. And if it sounds super nerdy...that's because it is! But I don't care because I LOVE it. Discussing books I have read is one of my favorite things to do, and when there's a room full of girls who love Jane (that's right, we are on a first name basis) as much as I do, it's wonderful non-stop chatter about themes, heroines, friendship, betrayal, proposals...and on and on. The book club convened last night to watch Northanger Abbey the movie since we finished and discussed this book a few weeks ago. If you are interested in watching it, the Masterpiece Theater (2008) version is excellent. The BBC (1986) version not so much. I'm not really interested in watching a period film where the main characters bangs are feathered and the the soundtrack includes the electric guitar. And now on to Sense and Sensibility!

That great that your in a Jane Austen book club Dave. It's better than Jackie Steele.
i've been carrying Emma around in my bag for the last month -- trying to finish the last few chapters. there are too many men named John Knightley in it. and Emma is a jerk.
i think i just started my own Jane Austen club.
