I reread Emma the other day. It was lovely. The book was so different from how I remembered it.

I plan to reread that soon. I currently have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it. I think we need to work out our differences or part forever. (Apart from Mr Knightley. Him I love unreservedly.)


On that note. Being high on happiness after having closed the book, I got a craving for the film versions. And I am now leaning towards admitting that the version you prefer really is the best one. It is not the most pleasant to watch, but it is most definitely the one closest to the book, and it is the one which mangles the proposal the least. Although I will maintain that the new one (from last year) has the best "sorry, I am going abruptly to London, let me not kiss your hand" moment).

I think your comfort food analogy works quite well. Re-reading is wonderfully safe, and it allows you to go off on tangents and thing around things because you know where you are heading.

Yes. Next time I go on holiday I'm taking rereads.


Good plan.
