Ooh, Sense and Sensibility is one of Jane Austen's books that I have yet to read. How was it, Megan?
Nadia wrote: "Ooh, Sense and Sensibility is one of Jane Austen's books that I have yet to read. How was it, Megan?"Honestly, I wasn't crazy about it. Very long, descriptive paragraphs, very little dialogue. It seemed to be very focused on pining over men.
I'm reading Jane Austen for the Complete Works Challenge and I'm assuming the books get better (S&S was her first).

That's what happens when I'm sick and I have a lot of time to read :). If I continue like this I guess I could raise my goal ... I'll see ...
This year I managed to read in January and February more books than ever before - almost seems to me that I have set New Year's resolution, which I do not know about :-D!
Zita, I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well, but I'm glad you were able to get so much reading in. But reading or no reading, being sick is never fun. :(
