Mine would be Mansfield Park or S&S, but reading Pride and Prejudice was just so fun.

Isn't that by Elizabeth Gaskell? I've heard that N&S and Cranford are good to read when you've finished Austen.Madeline Osigianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219026675227963176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715958712753115885.post-16563261136528455712017-02-15T12:55:48.012-06:002017-02-15T12:55:48.012-06:00@Patrick Osigian -- did you know that in the early...@Patrick Osigian -- did you know that in the early 20th century, being a "Janeite" was "principally a male enthusiasm shared among publishers, professors, and literati," (according to the book <i>Austen Cults and Cultures</i>) and that Rudyard Kipling wrote a story about WWI soldiers called "Out Among the Janeites" that was all about how British soldiers read and reread Austen's novels and drew courage and comfort from them? It's only silly modern people who have labeled them "girly."Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715958712753115885.post-87872353601455456932017-02-15T12:54:53.646-06:002017-02-15T12:54:53.646-06:00I love that graphic you made about your Austen jou...I love that graphic you made about your Austen journey!

I would be so awkward if I tried to do videos. Also...totally unrelated, and not Austen, but have you seen or read North and South? The book kind of drug on forever but I adore the movie so much more than any Austen film (although I haven't seen quite a few that you mentioned and I do really love the BBC Pride and Prejudice).Rebekahhttp://www.somewhere-in-the-middle.comnoreply@blogger.com
