Be Thinkers

I'm in the middle of reading Wild Swans - yet again! - and I'm definitely a one track reader, but tonight I'm tempted to take up my husband's habit of reading several books at the same time. I want to start in on another round of Jane Austen.

Tonight was the opening night for "Pride and Prejudice and we just came back from the Late Show. (The only show we can afford.) It was rather late for analyzation and deep discussion, although Sarah Anne certainly tried. It was such a very different presentation of our favorite book... GORGEOUS scenery, beautiful music, some fairly well done characterizations. But I think they kind of skimped on the dialogue - I missed that Jane Austen wit.

It was particularly interesting after listening to Jerram Barrs lecture on Jane Austen just last night. We logged onto www.bethinking.org for the first time this week. Among the many interesting offerings our favorites were four lectures of Jerram Barr's on: Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Tolkien and Harry Potter.

Its much too late at night for blogging...
