    Jane Austen

    Topic started by bookworm (@ 164.164.86.66) on Mon Sep 11 13:57:45 .


    I was enthralled after reading Austen's Emma. It has such a great charm that I felt sorry for having read it at a stretch! Previously I had read her 'Pride and Prejudice' and similarly captivated by it. Your opinions?

    Hi Bookworm,

    I started with emma too. I loved it so much that I read all of Jane Austen's works immediately after. It has been many years now. Even though I do not remember specific incidents in the book, the warm glow and the wonderful feelings still remain. They definitely are in a class on their own.

    What are you reading now?

    hi guys,
    sorry, i had to initiate another thread on the same subject, for this forum wouldn't allow me to post that message when I tried to paste it here. So, I tried a new thread, which was a failure too and at last I found that I had mentioned Charles DIKens which had the obscene word in it ! I removed the letter 'C' eventually and this process initiated the same discussion in a new title.

    hi Bookworm

    I actually studied P&P for my English Lit.
    I can't think of a better hero and heroine in all the books I have read. It is such a contemporary novel and equally relevant to today's world don't you think.
    I have read Emma and also S&S by the same author,but preferred P&P.It was in a class of its own

    dear bookworm,
    i am a fan of jane austen.....
    there is no other love story as gracious and as subtle as pride and prejudice....
    one cant forget elizabeth bennet and darcy....
    by the bye is it true that the tamil film 'kandukondein....' is an adaptation of the novel sense and sensibility? if so how faithful was the adaptatin?
