Have you seen Lost in Austen? Tim Send a noteboard - 26/04/2012 07:59:14 PM
It's a four-part ITV miniseries about a young woman from our time who gets stuck in the world of P&P. As a lifelong fan, she always knows what's going to happen next; except it doesn't because her presence changes stuff. It's quite fun.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.

—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.

See, I keep thinking Jane Austen books are "chick lit" but I like them anyway. Tom - 26/04/2012 02:43:07 AM 1101 Views
Oh, come on. Jane Eyre is a great book. Legolas - 26/04/2012 08:42:17 PM 1126 Views
Hated Wuthering Heights. (but not as much as I hate Rochester of course) Vivien - 26/04/2012 09:31:13 PM 1145 Views
I don't think the first adaptation is cheating LadyLorraine - 26/04/2012 10:04:14 PM 1014 Views
I think it's all cheating. Vivien - 26/04/2012 11:22:31 PM 1267 Views
I don't know. LadyLorraine - 27/04/2012 12:06:00 AM 1161 Views
I admit she's too good for him - but isn't that part of the point? Legolas - 26/04/2012 10:08:13 PM 1111 Views
Clearly, it did work. Vivien - 26/04/2012 10:43:00 PM 1250 Views
Jane Eyre is bad chick lit. Tom - 27/04/2012 05:59:55 PM 1059 Views
I do too. nossy - 27/04/2012 10:44:13 PM 1031 Views

Could someone explain to me why Jane Austen's prose is considered good? Dan - 27/04/2012 12:24:00 AM 1307 Views
I don't like her prose, but I like the dialogue LadyLorraine - 27/04/2012 01:55:50 AM 1182 Views
You're not alone. ironclad - 27/04/2012 01:16:12 PM 1175 Views
I agree with what others have said nossy - 27/04/2012 02:30:31 PM 1136 Views
Dialogue, wit, characters. The plot and descriptive prose are merely functional, true. Legolas - 27/04/2012 11:26:27 PM 1038 Views
The dialogue, wit, and characters I am not puzzled about. Dan - 28/04/2012 03:17:37 AM 1174 Views
