Just up to the chapter in Pride and Prejudice where Mr Darcy SPOILERs Elizabeth and she gives him a hefty piece of her mind. This is thrilling stuff!!!

It's hard to put down my neat little hardback and make myself read the shortly-due library books instead!

I've studied Persuasion, failed to complete Northanger Abbey, and just re-watched the film of Sense and Sensibility (the book is on my pile o' book to read).

Hee, I've experienced that. ^__^

Oooh. I've read Pride and Prejudice, attempted to start Emma, and watched Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Pride and Prejudice. All v. pretty, except for Mansfield Park, which was dangerously uninteresting.

I forgot Emma! I have seen the movie (and Clueless too), but haven't read the book (yet).

What is Clueless?

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

An amusing movie based on Emma, but set in a modern American high school.

Ist good?

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, enjoyable. Right now I'm watching the Laurence Olivier P&P (only a few minutes in tho).

^_^ Okay. I am just generally oblivious about this sort of thing.

I'm not hugely impressed by the 1940 P&P so far - it seems too dumbed down. I think it's based on a stage adaptation, which might explain why everything seems to be designed to hit the back. Adapting it straight to TV or film they could leave in more subtleties.

Oh, okay. >_> That's rather annoying.
