Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen I was shocked when I read this book! It turned out to be a pale copy of Pride and Prejudice. I had such high hopes for this book but it just was not original. The plot was ridiculously close to that of Pride and Prejudice. On top of that Elizabeth is ...

I was trying to read Persuasion by Jane Austen, but it is boring me to tears so I switched to Sense and Sensibility. Which still has the same stylistic quirks that I find odd and sometimes annoying, but at least things happen, which is more than I can say for Persuasion (I got halfway ...

... I do have to say it is hard for me to keep up with all the characters in these books. I am going to start rereading Sense and Sensibility for the I Love Jane Austen group read. I am also going to work on Aremis Fowl: The Eternity Code.

I am finishing up Pride and Prejudice and will start Mansfield Park later today. I had already read Sense and Sensibility and P&P before, but since I wanted to do a Jane-a-thon, I reread them. I'd forgotten how S&S was a bit long and dull in spots, and how much I love-love-LOVED P&P. It ...

My review of Sense and Sensibility is up In the Shadow of Mt. TBR. :-D

I just started my Jane-a-thon today. I started Sense and Sensibility, and am about a third of the way through. With all the contemporary reading I've been doing, I'd forgotten the language difference. Those first three or four chapters were hard to get back into Georgian era English. But ...

Anyone up for reading Sense and Sensibility? Maybe we could make it the book for July. Every two months might be good.

27. Sense And Sensibility by Jane Austen What a great book - who doesn't love Jane Austen? I found this one to be better than Emma but not as good as Pride And Prejudice. And so far these are the only three that I've read, although I'd like to eventually read everything by her. And I hate ...

21. Sense And Sensibility by Jane Austen I really enjoyed this! Even though I was familiar with the story from having watched the Emma Thompson adaptation (one of my favourite films), I found I was gripped. I also think this book has some of Austen's best comical characters. On ...

Grammath-- you might give another Austen a try before you give up on her completely, maybe Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility. I really enjoyed all her books EXCEPT Emma, because I found the characters in it so annoying. It's certainly not the worst written book I've ever read (l ...

You're not alone - Sense and Sensibility is my least favorite. Mind you, I haven't read it since I was a teenager. Perhaps it's time for a re-read through the lense of greater experience (I won't say maturity :-)).

I guess I'll have to be the loner when I say, though I love shamelessly all of her novels, my least favorite is Sense and Sensibility. This could be, however, that I read it a long time ago and need to give it another go. I probably didn't appreciate Austen's wit and humor then, so I admit, I ...

I got Sense and Sensibility, loved it. Not sure about the rest of them. After a whole day of thinking, this is the best I have for now. Imagine a bid O here. :)

I believe I read Pride and Prejudice first followed by Sense and Sensibility then Emma I think after that it was Persuasion then Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey followed by Sanditon and the Watsons and finally Jane Austen's Letters I think unlike those who dislike Emma and No ...

I read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility many years ago. My reading goal for this year is to read the other works of Austen. I started with Lady Susan, one of her lesser known works, and thoroughly enjoyed this novella in letters. Next up were Persuasion and Northanger Abbe ...

I wasn't keeping such good track of things back when I read these, but I think I did Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Emma, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion. Mostly in chronological order, I guess, though that was not at all purposeful.

... for a class. While still in college a friend recommended Pride and Prejudice. I think Emma was next and then maybe Sense and Sensibility. I am not sure what order I read Persuasion and Mansfield Park. I would definitely recommend Pride and Prejudice first and then maybe Sense ...

... because it's highly wishlisted. AND--- the actual reason I went in in the first place was to find Jane books --- Sense and Sensibility 23 books to get one... Sense and Sensibility. The only J.A. book I need now is Mansfield Park, then I'm having a Jane-athon!

... confess that Pride and Prejudice is the one I've read most often. As far as introductions go, I think Emma or P&P or Sense and Sensibility -- the three most well-known -- would each be a fine place to start. Each has its own appeal. The others are a bit different -- Northhanger Abbey ...

I listened to Sense and Sensibility and it did throw me off when the readers switched around so much. I really enjoyed one of the readers because she had an accent that fit very well with the characters, but every time it changed I didn't enjoy it as much.

#24 Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Is there any more pleasant place to spend a day or two than in the world of Jane Austen? Especially when the little volume that fits so well in your hand is covered in leather, with letters on its spine in gold? compskibook in I Love Jane Austen : The Jane Austen Book CLub (Apr 22, 2008, 4:39pm)

... each month we start talking about a book. For example, May 15 we will begin a discussion about Northanger Abby, June 15: Sense and Sensibility, July 15: Pride and Prejudice and so on. This is just a suggestion for the date, I am open to discussion.

Hmm, very interesting. Especially as I am reading Sense and Sensibility at the moment. The setting makes it especially interesting. I am quite enamored of The Scarlet Letter, and this resonates with that, too.

#13: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen Why I Chose It: Found it in a podcast through Librivox and absolutely loved the movie. Still a great story and probably one of my absolute favorite Jane Austen novels right up with Pride and Prejudice. The whole time I couldn't help picturing the ...

I'm currently rereading Sense and Sensibility and confess I miss the scene where Margaret is under the table with the atlas and Edward lures her out. Even though I usually do prefer books to movies. #104: nohrt, I am choking on my coke at "Though how hard would it be to transfer your ...

I've always loved the differences between Elinor and Marianne from Austen's Sense and Sensibility. I imagine that Elinor is an SJ and Marianne is an NF. Also, I'm currently reading Chocolat. I'm certain that Anouk is an NF. Vianne is quite obviously an SP. All food for thought!

I have two copies of Sense and Sensibility because I had to get an edition with some specific essays in it for a class. There are quite a few sets and editions of many of her books that I would love to own, but I have to budget my money so carefully right now!

I finished watching the Masterpiece Theater's Sense and Sensibility and I watched Star Wars II. I still have Star Wars III and Eight Below to watch. And tomorrow is another try for Miss Pettigrew!!!

... of Austen's work I've read so far. There is actually a plot (and humour)! In Persuasion, and to a lesser degree Sense and Sensibility, I found myself quite bored after the first few chapters because nothing happens. And yet I'm a big fan of classic authors like Dickens, Trollope, Hard ...

*sighs happily at mention of Rickman's Col. Brandon* Now I really want to watch Sense and Sensibility.

I finished Sense and Sensibility which I loved and started Augustus almost immediately. I'm still on the background portions, but they are engagingly written enough that I'm excited to get further in the story.

For those who are interested, there will be a new version of Sense and Sensibility on PBS starting tonight. I don't know how it can compare to the one staring Trewaley, Umbridge, Pomfrey, and Snape, though. ETA Pomfrey

9. Sense and Sensibility My first Jane Austen. I loved it, but I can see why others don't. Its not particularly fast-moving and, really, Edward has got to be the most unappealing love interest to come along in a while. That said, I liked the details and the way the characters had to read between ...

... recommend one book read this quarter as "top five" quality: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen But, I'm reading Sense and Sensibility right now, so hopefully I'll be able to add that to my list.

Just started Sense and Sensibility as part of my quest to actually read Jane Austen instead of just moving the book back and forth when I dust and thinking, "Oh, I should read that."
