Jane Austen discussion

I just found this: http://www.buzzfeed.com/dianabruk/sig...
Too funny and way too true

I'm still laughing about the floppy-haired brooder.

I've actually looked for the night gown, have a full tea service and would love a quill.
We used to have a flock of peacocks (with fleas) living in our garden.

So many apply to me!

Soph, you are their poster-child!
You could add more

HAHA Soph- indeed!!!
I love nightgowns, tea services, quill pens, and peacock stuff. Haha

Amazing! Studying abroad=England :) So true!
Also, the thing I say more often is "I should have been born in the nineteenth century"! But I do many others of those things :P

Buying antique tea sets...yep!! :D

Ahaha - I could add a lot more!

Hmm. Well this is disconcerting. A lot of that dratted list applies for even me!

Maybe I should go read several thoroughly repulsive modern books or something. Eh, probably too late. I'm beyond help! :-) :-)

How about having to explain to people why I own three copies of P&P- and why I need more.

Same! I have 3 sets of all 6 and I think there is another 2 P&Ps in the house! But I still need more!

What is it about reading P&P from a physical book anyway? I have all of Austen's work on my ipad but every time I read one... I pull out the book instead! :-)

Why you need multiple copies of books and movie adaptations. No one here understands.

Yes same! It just has to be a physical book for Austen!

Yes Stephanie - we have 3 versions of the P&P 95 series!

Multiple versions are important though. One can never tell when a spare will be required! Best to always be prepared. :-)

Exactly!

I just saw that there is a special keepsake edition of the 1995 P&P. I am thinking that is another one to add to the collection. I also need to find a BBC version of Mansfield Park that I can watch as well.

I saw that but it doesn't seem to be available over here ...

Hi Stephanie:

You can watch the 1983 BBC version on You-Tube:

Enjoy!

If you're in the UK you can buy it on Amazon for a fiver :) (the 2007 one too)

Lol I have 1940's 1980's 4x1995 and 2005 and 5x P&P books plus one on Kindle.

So funny as I just wrote a post called Just how obsessed with Austen & JAFF are you? http://tamaraausten77.blogspot.co.uk/...

Great post! So many apply to me...!!

Thanks Soph! If you could relate then I know my obsession is Natural and Just! lol

Ahaha - and mine!!

I love it! So many of those are me.
