About Me
- Lynnae
- I LOVE Jane Austen--I paint, canvas and walls, write, love houses, decorating, and music--I am a conservative and love politics--I have a sweet husband, three lovely daughters and tons of laughter. I am just a mom trying to have a peaceful orderly house, and a home for beauty and art at the same time--INFJ--I dream in color--I'm a Mormon!--Military wife--My kids say s'mores will make me jump on a table--I meditate daily--incandescent lightbulbs rule-- Once my brother and I had the same dream--I memorized the presidential oath of office when I was 13--I also saved a giant cornflake and displayed it in a jewelry box--I've been chased by police in Japan--Biofuels cause famine.--Not a treadmill kind of girl. When Reagan became president I wrote about it in my diary--There is NO caffeine in chocolate, it's a lie--I can write backwards in cursive--I heart sun and water--I've Danced Mr. Beveridge's Maggot--One day while bored I planned my dinner menu for the entire year--I don't mess with Texas--My puppy is cuter than yours--If a hot fudge tanker truck ever overturns in front of me, I'm turning on my hazard lights, kicking off my shoes, and goin' in.
Thanks for visiting !

Nice! You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou go GIRL!! That's amazing and also hard to believe that anyone NOT on a Jane Austen board or a curator of her books and artifacts could have scored higher!
ReplyDeleteI would be so low it would be sad.
ReplyDeleteI just started Sense and Sensibility and ummmmmmm ouch, it is hard. What am I doing wrong? I love the movie and story, but this is not grabbing me even like Jane Eyre did ( I couldn't put that down!). I need a lesson on ready Austen, because I am no good at it, and I feel like the only person in the world who says that. Mom will hate me if I admit this at book club.
ready = reading
ReplyDeleteoops!
@Ramsam: I think you are just picking up on the natural superiority of the Brontes compared to that overrated hack Jane Austen.
ReplyDeleteFrom my extensive knowledge of Jane Eyre (watching part of it on PBS last year), I think it's great how the unattractive girl ends up with the blind guy and everything works out fine.
I kid of course.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you like to make me mad. Don't even Joke about Austen vs. Bronte.
ReplyDeleteRamsam, I think it takes a while to get into the flow of the language. I'm used to it now, and I know them so well, but I remember when I started It all seemed so formal, like another language almost. Now when I get reading them it's not to think and speak in 'Austen language'. Just give it time to and it will begin to sound more natural. A good school version with notes and explanations can help too.
One more idea... I know this won't help you with your book club, but I find 'Northanger Abbey' a little easier to read because there is more of Jane's own 'voice' in the narration.
@Lynnae:
ReplyDelete"You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion on my poor nerves."
"You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least."
Twenty two years.
