Last night I finished Sense and Sensibility. Reading Austen is such a pleasure. I love her wit and the social commentary on her day. Plus I was all wrapped up in the love stories. Towards the end I sped up my reading because I had to know what in the world was going on with Edward.
Did you know Austen was only 17 when she wrote this book (according to my book jacket)? V. impressive.
What are we reading next?

I am at the spot where Edward is engaged to Lucy (Barf!). I wanted to read more last night, because I can't remember what happens!
17?! That is amazing.
Did you want to slap Mr John Dashwood (the son) like I wish I could every time he talked?!
