Oh dear, I have not read half of Austen. Much of the above would keep me busy next year. Who would give me that fantastic gift :D *thinking*

I recommend this site. After about a year and a half of reading about Jane Austen life and her works, this site is the most detailed and user friendly out of the bunch:Www.jausten.it
I also did an adaptation challenge of films from the novels and movies with their storyline hinting Austen work. This project is incomplete and it may be so for a long time. There are numerous early adaptation that are hard to get.
I began this challenge not to gloat about reading Austen's work afterwards but there is just something about this lady that just intrigues me. I have never felt this way about any other writer. She is indeed my only favourite author so far. I am now contemplating a Charles Dickens project for next year God willing.
I honestly feel satisfied but drained at the same time. Reading from a kindle certainly has its advantages and disadvantages. I owe another group on Goodreads many thanks, we took part in a Jane Austen Project for 2013. Now I am trying to read some biographies on Austen whilst I watch some documentaries.
I urge anyone who loves/ likes Jane Austen and her work to google the link I gave earlier in the post, to browse through the author's work. I hope this is legal :) I am usually wary about posting links.
Thank you, Marren. I already knew that site, though. It is very helpful especially for people who speak Italian.
No problemOh yes it is Maria. I tried reading a bit of it, the language seem close to Spanish. I just like the layout of this site.
Yes it is fine :) And it is interesting because there are all the translations of the novels and some other works. Plus, there are some news about meetings and events, mostly in Italy.
