even Sense and Sensibility is better
after writing comparative essays on Emma and P&P, I can't even watch Emma the movie anymore, bleeeh |

| My English prof LOVED Emma. I can see why it doesn't compare to her other work though. It's more, um...superficial? Just seems like so much less is going on. |

so did mine (teacher in school)
but I hated all the characters - everyone just seemed so shallow
I like complex characters and/or storylines :) that's why P&P was def more up my alley |

I dunno man, the 2 part original BBC version is my fave forever and ever :)
but I did watch the 2005 one - had to make a track to Bayview Village theater to catch it too! |

Such a great novel. They say it's one of the first "sci fi" novels ever written. |
+1, such a good read. I haven't read it in ages though, I should dig it up! |

I think Baby Hazard likes it because of the cadance... and because monkies are funny. |

I picked this one up recently and have read about half of it so far. Another book I'd like to read is one by Reza Aslan - How to Win a Cosmic War. |
