Right now I'm reading Persuasion by Jane Austen. My sister gave me the book for Christmas, and I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it because I found Sense and Sensibility hard to get into (I did love Pride and Prejudice, though). But it turns out that I'm not completely devoid of taste, and I may even branch out to other Jane Austen contemporaries!
My thoughts: if Louisa had not hit her head when leaping from the rock wall into Captain Wentworth's arms, would they have married?!?! I think they would have! He would never have seen her stubbornness as a fault, and probably would have married the lady of inferior mind! harumph! i think less of him already.

haha sounds awesome. stubborness is NOT a fault!
sometimes when you are walking in the middle of a foreign country and you just flew into an airport and you decide not to pay for a perfectly safe and comfortable shuttle/bus, stubbornness would most definitely be considered a fault!
i never did the whole jane austen thing. ive read many of her novels but i didnt LOVE them. any suggestions to for me to convert me to love jane?
if you want to love Jane, you have to start with the movies I think. then move to the books of either Persuasion or Pride and Prejudice...Sense and Sensibility is too hard to follow to love.
