Blacky and Tea ! When are we doing the buddy watch ? When are we? Huh when ? When ? When ?
I don't know, watch it when you want Karen :D you still aren't finished with the book woman!!!!!!!!!!
I will finish the book don't you worry about that!!
But buddy watch has to be done !!

Ahaha!!! Karen, your *severely strict eyes* made me LOL! You made some good time last night with the book! Did it pick up for you, then? I watched the first two episodes of the series last night, and **swoon!** Definitely a bit different in the book, but it also gives me a little different of a take on what I read. Like, you can actually SEE Thornton's fascination with Margaret. And the scene after (view spoiler)
yup it is quite different in the show, some scenes are completely changed :D but no crying!!!! not even Bessie LOLoh you stopped right at the good part Nicole!!!!!

I started realizing that my eyes were closing involuntarily at around 2 am and I was missing stuff. I had actually started the third one but I'll start it over. This has been such a fabulous buddy read, you guys!!! I think the classics are much better read with a friend...I had questions that were answered (by my non-native English friends, no less), and everyone's enthusiasm definitely enhanced my own. So thanks to you all!
This isn't my farewell...just wanted to get that out there, ahaha :):):)
It was a lovely buddy read nicole ! I did today ! My mom and dad both came in and scolded me ! Why are sitting all day and reading a book :p study girl study ! I have a little left ! Will finish in sometime ! :D
And now I agree , its way more fun to read a classic with friends ! Yay!

I would love to read some classics with you guys sometimes. I've been reading a classic a month for about six months now, and even if I haven't enjoyed them all :) they've all been at least thought provoking.
I would love to do so again too :)
How about Rebecca next month , you did say you want to read it and I don't think I will be able to handle another classic this month !

Which classics have you read in the last 6 m nicole and which did you enjoy?
I don't know when I'll grab another classic ahahah but I'll keep watch at what you guys are reading, I'll jump in if I like the sound of it :D
Karen wrote: "Which classics have you read in the last 6 m nicole and which did you enjoy?"The Prophet
Lady Chatterley's Lover
(which I LOVED)Animal Farm
Persuasion
White Fang
Adding all to classics TBR :D:D
great that you are reading one a month Nicole ! Great :D
great that you are reading one a month Nicole ! Great :D
The Prophet was a little cheesy at times, but if you want some great quotes and short phrases that really make you think, it's great! And Animal Farm I just read last week...it was odd and political, but still okay. Glad I read it. Persuasion....five huge stars!
Lady Chatterly's Lover....what a beautiful and sad story...and there's a movie, too!
White Fang.... I just love Jack London!
Animal Farm is depressing as hell. Really really. I have that one in paperback.Persuasion <3 Well anything by Jane Austen is <3
I have Lady C's Lover in paperback too :) Good one :) I think that was my first sex scene in a book ahahahha
Lol ! Blacky !
I mean to finish all remaining Jane Austens this year ! There is a P&P 200 th anniversary challenge in a group :D

Stay away from p&p ! Is that even possible ?*raises eyebrow*

Is it possible, to forget the lines? :DI just can't stand away from P&P. I'm always hoping that next time I read it, there will be that pond scene. :)
Karen wrote: "Stay away from p&p ! Is that even possible ?*raises eyebrow*"We'll ambush her with quotes and gifs so she'll have to read it again :)

:P :P :P hey I know it by heart. Really. I'll enjoy it more if I don't read it like crazy ahahahhhaha
No! I'm not adding another thing to watch list! I'm not! I'm not!*checks imdb*
ahahahhahahhahaLost in Austen is a modern re-telling of P&P where the girl travels back in time (or travels into the book) of P&P and meets all the characters, only not everything is the same as in the book :DDDD ehehehheheheheh
it's really great, I laughed like crazy in the first two episodes :D the last one is the weakest, but it's still a great series :)
Have you guys read all of Austen? I've only read PandP, Emma (which I loved also) and Persuasion.

But it's a truly beautiful story, Blacky! It's tragic because Austen wrote such happy endings for her characters but never got her own Happy Ending. But her love story is just as beautiful as her books.
Do you know somewhere an austen festival is celebrated , where people dress up and live the life of people in those times for a week !!!
karen I cry at every damn sad scene possible. I'm a big cry baby. That's why I don't watch/read something with a sad ending :((((I cried for 45 minutes when I saw Brokeback Mountain, and I mean tears rolling for 45 min. Terrible.
When I saw Devdas I couldn't speak for the first hour, then I cried for the second hour. What can I tell you. NOT for me ahahahhahah

Nicole, watched and read all of Austen in Croatian and English. P&P, S&S and Persuasion are reread (and rewatched) on yearly basis. Northanger Abbey if I'm in the mood (movie was better). I don't like Emma & Mansfield Park - I blame series/movies for that. Something didn't sit right with them so I'm having trouble reading them. I started reading Mansfield Park not long ago, but stopped as soon as something else came along.

Oh ! Sorry got confused !
Oh ! Sorry got confused !
Tea I'm pretty much the same as you, although for some reason i don't like Sense and sensibility, Emma i simply adore :DDDDDD
Found streemeng of Lost in Austen. So if I start with that, then to N&S, then to Jane Eyre and hoping that I won't want to repeat P&P, I'll be done by lunch tomorrow. Mom was bored so she invited us to lunch.It isn't helping my brother found some old comp games that works in Win. I've been playing them all day.

Oh, Karen! Have you heard the story of the life of Jane Austen? If you haven't then you just HAVE to watch the movie! Of course, it's probably not completely historically accurate, but you'll get the point. Austen led a fairly tragic, short life.
