Next book - Love and Friendship

As a change of pace, mood, and time, I suggest Jane Austen's "Love and Freindship" for our next read, though here it looks like the book's publishers have corrected her original misspelling!

You can read it online at a number of places. Here's just one example - http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/lovfrend.html

Shall we get started around Nov. 22? And then we may want to take a breather for the holidays.

  1. I love it! I've never read any of Austen's juvenilia, except for bits and pieces here and there. But I gather she was super sassy and wonderful. It'll be fun to see the origins of her mature satire.

    How you talk, child! A "breather" for the holidays! Pshaw! The holidays are the best time to read. (But maybe not if you're busy in Nigeria meeting in-laws. Hehe)

  2. I didn't know there was any Austen work I'd overlooked! I can't wait to read it.

    KC asked if I would like to participate here, which I would. Thanks for letting me chime in.
