I started reading Pride and Prejudice yesterday afternoon and so far I'm loving it. I've never read any of the classics really so I'm super excited about being drawn into this book. Jane Austen is on my list of "cool" authors now!
Starting next Friday I will be restarting my weekly blessings. I haven't been feeling very blessed the last couple of weeks so I haven't posted any blessings. Between putting our dog down, me getting hurt, and spending a fortune to get my car to just run again (my AC compressor has completely seized) not feeling very blessed at all. I guess the upside to the car thing is that I'm driving around in a really NICE Lincoln Zeyphor...I'll take a picture this morning when the son comes up and share with you all.

Welll...I have to admidt that I have not read Pride and Prejudice either. It is on my bookshelf though--just haven't gotten to it. I am glad that you are enjoying it. Have you seen the movie Becoming Jane? A really great flick--a bit bittersweet.
How cool you're reading P&P. Have you seen the movie with Colin Firth? I love it so much. You can usually find it at the library (I'm cheap like that ;) Then you'll have to read Persuasion - it's such a great love story. Hope things are looking up for you :)
All of Austin's books are wonderful, don't stop at P&P! Oh and if you want to see a really funny spoof/take on the movie version rent Bride and Prejudice, it's the Bollywood version. Hella funny!
Pride and Prejudice is one of my all time favorite novels. I also LOVE Persuasion by the same author. Right now you can get Austen's complete works for 50% off or something like that which makes the leather bound edition like $12. Great deal. As for a budget.........the first place I always can save is groceries/eating out.
I haven't read Pride and Prejudice. Loved Jane Eyre though.
