Austen Addict

Why do I love Jane Austen's novels so much? Since January, PBS has been showing a new adaptation of one of Austen's books every Sunday night (except Pride and Prejudice, which was the original PBS version---still awesome). Let's just say that I look forward to Sunday night all week. I like seeing the different movies and how they relate to my interpretation of the book. Her stories and so fun and she creates characters that you feel like you know by the end of each book. Plus there's the romance, wit, and the fact that the heroine is always able to marry for love, to men who just happen to be rich. Every woman's dream, right? I've even got Ryan to watch them with me and he appreciates the humor. For all you fellow Austen Addicts you should try out a character quiz and see who you are most like: http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=41259 It says I am most like Elinor Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility, followed by Emma Woodhouse and Jane Bennet. I'd say that's probably pretty right, I'm definitely not feisty enough to be Elizabeth Bennet.
