It was written in the 1800's 1900's so that would've been relevant for the time. It's in England so not dollars but pounds which in that time 500 pounds would be about $200 a year.


It's always a slow burn for me and Austen. It takes quite awhile for the story and characters to build for me but in enjoying so far :)

Not getting into it yet but trying to stay with it. Hoping it gets better as I continue to read on
I normally don't read these sections as spoilers within. But this is a re-read for me. I've read this so many times in my life. For those of you who haven't seen the movie directed by Ang Lee it is BEAUTIFUL and very true to the book. My favorite character is Marianne my personal favorite Austen novel is Emma. This comes as a second and P&P comes in at third place.



Speedy recovery to your son. Hopefully the antibiotics helps.

I at least read 38 books already so maybe it's time to slow down. Luckily today is our last day for work so spring break. So maybe I can sit and read.
