It's a good book, but in my memory doesn't have as memorable characters as P&P and Emma. Legolas Send a noteboard - 09/12/2011 09:54:15 PM
It has not been my favourite Austen novel, but I am teaching it in the Spring, and so I thought I should re-read. There is certainly a lot to say about it.

Marianne is rather forgettable, as are the men, and Elinor is a pretty cool woman, but still not as memorable as Lizzie Bennet or Emma.

I look forward to reading your thoughts after your reread, though - has been a few years since I read it last myself.

Currently Novik's Throne of Jade, next up likely either Atwood, LeGuin or Kundera. *NM* Legolas - 12/12/2011 10:04:57 PM 461 Views
LeGuin it is - Left Hand of Darkness is excellent so far. *NM* Legolas - 15/12/2011 06:35:44 PM 400 Views
And then Kundera, which was okay if a bit lightweight, now the new Charlotte Roche. *NM* Legolas - 24/12/2011 03:32:56 PM 432 Views
There! Very narrowly made it... that made 50. Doubt I'll get to 51. *NM* Legolas - 29/12/2011 07:11:38 PM 420 Views
