(Sorry I'm late) I am a HUGE Austen Fan, and I have an Austen blog I update every now and then: *thejaneaustenfansite.blogspot.com*<br />(I was out of town on Austen's B-day :( so I couldn't do a post about that) I also did an English bio report on her. :) I got an A. Yay! :D <br /><br />Anyway, I totally agree with you on everything in this post. Austen characters are as close to me as sisters. <br /><br />Love, <br />Emma<br />(Someone once asked me if that was my real name once, not just because I like Emma Woodhouse. So, yes, it's my real name! Actually, my full name is Emma Elizabeth.

I actually didn't know anything about Jane Austen until the Emma Thompson version of "Sense and Sensibility" came to theaters when I was in high school. Aside from "Mansfield Park" and "Northanger Abbey", I watched the movie adaptations of her novels before reading the novels themselves. Of course, once I read the novels, I loved them even more than the movies. There are always so many more details in the books! :) <br /><br />"Pride and Prejudice" is a great one to start on, by the way. :)<br /><br />Bama, I really enjoy "Pride and Prejudice" too, although I'm a Mr. Knightley/Mr. Tilney type, myself. ;) <br /><br />I first saw "Pride and Prejudice" (the awesome version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) when I was spending the night at a friend's house in high school. We didn't start the movie until 8:00 pm, but we stayed up for the entire 4 hours just because we HAD to know what would happen to Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth! :) I think we may have had school the next day. We were pretty tired, but being able to see the end of the movie was so worth it! :) <br /><br />Shortly after, I checked out the novel in our school library and read it in about 3 days. :DHannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-43877719248817677342011-12-16T10:18:35.039-08:002011-12-16T10:18:35.039-08:00Happy Birthday Miss Austen!
She is also one of ...Happy Birthday Miss Austen! <br /><br />She is also one of my favorite author. I have had a crush on Mr.Darcy for many years, although I have found most of her male heroes to be very appealing, based on their morals and integrity. :o)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113466602714470004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-39921044751909377912011-12-16T09:46:12.409-08:002011-12-16T09:46:12.409-08:00Happy birthday, Jane Austen! :) I am sad to say I ...Happy birthday, Jane Austen! :) I am sad to say I still haven't read any of her books yet...I'm currently rereading one book right now and then I'm going to start on Pride and Prejudice as soon as I finish my other book. :)<br /><br />I think it's great that Jane Austen's books have unconditional love and good morals in it...I think in today's society sleeping around and dumping would be two examples of attitude displayed in Jane's books if they had been written in the 21st century. At least they weren't - I absolutely LOATHE bad morals.<br /><br />Anyway, I'll step off my soapbox and say it again: Happy birthday Jane Austen! :DClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103733708909437765noreply@blogger.com
