and from PBS, Tarot Made Easy
edit to add: just got Stranger than Fiction by Chuck Palahniuk from a fellow LTer and BM friend. :-D
I've been looking forward to reading it for a while. This is a wild stab in the dark: Lady Susan by Jane Austen? ... 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 Northanger Abbey those heroines don't bother me because Austen is ... ... 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 Abbey which I followed by watching ... My order:
Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility
Emma
Persuasion
Sanditon
Mansfield Park
Northanger Abbey
I too recommend reading Pride and Prejudice first, or Northanger Abbey. ... then let yourself explore the others with an open mind.

121. The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Goff - OK, ... ... the rest of her work. But the title female is so very, very wicked. I think the modern world is ready for an adaptation of Lady Susan. You know, I'd really like to see someone take a stab at a film production of Lady Susan. Admittedly it would have to be largely pastiche, since there isn't a huge amount of dialogue in the novel, so that the screenwriters would have to labour to duplicate something of Austen's prose music in ... ...

The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrevzani
The Child in Time by Ian McEwan
The Brontes Went to Woolworths by Rachel Ferguson ... I picked up Lady Susan at the library the other day. I have not read a lot of Jane Austen, so I am looking forward to reading this one.
Now, I will have to go get Cold Comfort Farm. I am dying to know who saw what in the woodshed!
Edited because I cannot seem to spell today. ... I loved his first two, and keep almost buying the new one (but skintness makes me wary of hardbacks at the moment).
But Lady Susan is one of those usually ignored treasures. I think it's hilarious, and I also love her very arch frustration with the epistolary form. I also have mad love for ... 18. Lady Susan by Jane Austen.
A clever little book written in letters. While nowhere near as fine as Austen's later, longer novels, the spark of Austen's genius lies beneath the surface of this story of a recently widowed woman who has set her cap on a much younger man, to the dismay of ... Almost finished listening to Lady Susan by Jane Austen. I'll be listening to A Room With a View by E M Forster from tomorrow.

I've started listening to an audio book of Lady Susan by Jane Austen, which so far isn't exactly sparkling with her usual wit, but isn't too terrible. It's also not very long, so I'll listen to the whole thing. ... Went to Borders and couldn't resist picking up Jane Austen's Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sandition and Persuasion and Henry James' Daisy Miller. ... Hope he's doing well.
Just finished listening to The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall and read by someone (Susan Denaker, I believe) who annoyed the Hel (Norse goddess according to Don't know much about mythology) out of me. Makes me want to write a counter-novel about ... I ... Finished Susan Squires book No More Lies or should I say I jumped my way through it. I thought it was pretty bad. I think it's because I really need good character development and there didn't seem to be any in this story.
