I do feel a bit ashamed saying but I had this strange realisation the other day that ...... I don't think I have ever read a Jane Austen cover to cover or seen the famous BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. :-/
I do own many Jane Austen novels but they have sat pretty for a while and my visiting Aunt recently reminded me they were there in their big, chunky, hard back glory. She was quite enjoying reading them and her enthusiasm made me think about whether I had actually read them myself. I then watched the film " Becoming Jane" a few days later (in which Anne Hathaway did a great English accent ) and it felt like a lil sign from the fiesty lady. So whilst meandering around Blockbuster today I picked up a copy of Jane's fine work on DVD, so soon whether by reading or viewing I will have a bit more Jane in my life.
I still haven't read my book club book yet so where I will find the time to read a Jane Austen novel in between my other reads I don't know? Hmmm maybe I will have to learn to watch less poop on tv and read more .... but i'm sure Corrie is a classic too? lol
P.S: Also the other day I found out we had this new channel Zone Romantica (sounds like porn but it isn't) It is a channel for the lover of all dramatic, romantic and sometimes cheesey programmes. It's full of sad stories, Ally Mcbeal repeats, back to back Party of Five episodes and the occassional soppy 80's or true life Movie. Did my life just get sadder - don't answer I know the answer already!
