I already have Persuasion in another challenge to read.....and I watched it last week when I saw it on TVO (I'm in Ottawa, Canada)....I own another version with Amanda Root,and both versions (colin firth and Kiera Knightley) of Pride and Prejudice....I can't help feeling that this isn't a challenge for me since I read/watch two books or movies a year anyway, but then I thought, I might as well as get the credit!! So thanks, and I will let you know what I end up counting or as soon as I have finished the challenge. I can recommend a really good biography of Jane Austen, by Claire Tomlinson, which some consider the best one written of her.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-76821250520405740412007-12-29T13:05:00.000-06:002007-12-29T13:05:00.000-06:00Thanks, Becky!

I probably will watch another Austen movie just because anyway. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-51613009778612953362007-12-28T11:02:00.000-06:002007-12-28T11:02:00.000-06:00Hi BeckyI have finally posted my listHEREThanks fo...Hi Becky<BR/><BR/>I have finally posted my list<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://notenoughbookshelves.blogspot.com/2007/12/beckys-jane-austen-challenege.html" REL="nofollow">HERE</A><BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks for the times and dates, thank goodness for TiVo!Alix https://www.blogger.com/profile/04684209302932310537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-2458030785900836202007-12-28T11:00:00.000-06:002007-12-28T11:00:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alix https://www.blogger.com/profile/04684209302932310537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-69522089663922443262007-12-27T00:26:00.000-06:002007-12-27T00:26:00.000-06:00Literary Feline, that would be fine.

Does this count as two, or would I need to add another Austen book in (which I probably will do anyway, but hey, might as well ask just in case)?Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-56888941470333500892007-12-26T03:58:00.000-06:002007-12-26T03:58:00.000-06:00I'm not sure yet which books and/or movies I'll wa...I'm not sure yet which books and/or movies I'll watch but count me in for the Austen challenge.

I know I'll watch all the movies...I can only *try* to get to the books. <BR/><BR/>The good news is that for those wanting to get started early, Austen and Christmas go together great. I don't know why. It just makes sense to my little brain. I think maybe it's because I first read Pride and Prejudice at Christmas time. I watched the movie all day Christmas Eve. Now the two are linked.<BR/><BR/>And I mentioned this a bit earlier but <A HREF="http://www.dailylit.com/authors/jane-austen" REL="nofollow">DailyLit </A> is a site where you can have Austen's novels delivered bit by bit into your email inbox or rss reader.
