I like the portablity and all, but I think I'd miss the pages and feel of a book. Still is an interesting bit of technology though.

Caution: the more recent Mansfield Park movie is not at all like the book. The main characters are portrayed totally different, the plot is changed and some nudity is involved.

Francis Chan, plus <i>Radical</i> and the Selah's story. I've also read elsewhere about the FREE download of <i>Sheet Music.</i> (Don't have a Kindle yet.) <br /><br />You will enjoy <i>A Severe Mercy</i>... read it years ago. It may seem dated now, but it puts C.S. Lewis in some sort of friendship context.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting today, <br /><br />e-Mom @ Chrysalis :~DSusannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090290482455881323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-88715503073495798772010-05-25T17:07:13.219-05:002010-05-25T17:07:13.219-05:00Is this your first foray into Austen? If so, I...Is this your first foray into Austen? If so, I'll agree with the majority and say to read <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>. If you've read Austen before, then I'd start with <i>Emma</i> this time around. In my opinion, <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> is the most accessible (and remains one of my favorites)--but <i>Emma</i> and <i>Persuasion</i> have an additional maturity of style that I appreciate quite a bit.bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-66358662115731088382010-05-25T14:23:41.987-05:002010-05-25T14:23:41.987-05:00I've got P&P on my list for this month, an...I've got P&P on my list for this month, and since I've never read any Austen (except for a lame attempt at S&S which didn't work), I'm hoping that I don't flunk out again! :)morninglight mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128926711800459894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-28949798707983885832010-05-25T10:02:35.946-05:002010-05-25T10:02:35.946-05:00Okay, you've made me think about getting a Kin...Okay, you've made me think about getting a Kindle (again). . . <br /><br />Sounds like you did a lot of good reading!<br /><br />I would definitely pick Pride and Prejudice. :-)Amy @ Hope Is the Wordhttp://hopeisthewordblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-78787890871087979292010-05-25T08:55:08.194-05:002010-05-25T08:55:08.194-05:00I have Gretchen Rubin's book on my WL and now ...I have Gretchen Rubin's book on my WL and now I think I'm going to add the Alzheimer's book you mention too.

It usually takes me so much longer to get through those (except biographies) that I don't complete them very quickly.<br /><br />A couple of years ago I determined to read through all of Austen's books, and I was surprised that I didn't like P&P and S&S as well as Northanger Abby and Mansfield Park -- maybe because I had seen films of the former two, and expectation were high. I had read Emma in college, so I didn't revisit it then, but I want to now after a recent PBS production of it. All that said, I think I'd go with P&P first. That's classic, quintessential Austen.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-41640299207104466002010-05-25T08:13:13.268-05:002010-05-25T08:13:13.268-05:00I have never read any of Jane Austen but I have al...I have never read any of Jane Austen but I have always wanted to read Emma.Upstatemammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862359333933751151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-275545876056661022010-05-25T07:50:32.125-05:002010-05-25T07:50:32.125-05:00Pride & Prejudice, of course! :-) I'm read...Pride & Prejudice, of course! :-) I'm reading Sheet Music as well and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have so far.
