You know what, Ella has *already* asked why I don't use capitals when I'm typing.

A...I've never read Northanger Abbey or Persuasion. Apparently when deciding to fill in my Jane Austen gaps, I chose the wrong book to start with! My favorite has got to be Pride and Predjudice. Although, Mansfield Park is the first one I actually have not enjoyed. But I caught up to you, Jo! I am at the "plan the ball for Fanny" section too!<BR/><BR/>I think you should start to use capitals. I think that when Ella starts to notice that you don't use them and decides to follow suit, you will be frustrated with her! That teacher side in you will come out and cry, "No! That's not how it's done!" It's like I tell Jerry, "You better learn to eat veggies because the first time one of our kids looks at me and says, 'But Daddy doesn't eat it!' you are so dead!" :)Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436720646561133434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303944508136899903.post-50295317314300466982008-04-23T10:53:00.000-04:002008-04-23T10:53:00.000-04:00i know, isn't it fun. what's your favorite book? ...i know, isn't it fun. what's your favorite book? i go back and forth between <B>p&p</B> (of course) and <B>persuasion</B>. i think that maybe <B>northanger abby</B> is my least favorite. my mom read <B>emma</B> and she said it was the most boring book she'd ever read, or some such nonsense, and i almost had her flogged as a heretic. mr. knightley has got to be the best male character ever written,imho. next comes mr. darcy.<BR/><BR/>i think maybe i should start using capital letters. i go back and forth on that issue.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028600889013935580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303944508136899903.post-79725676279681185542008-04-23T07:16:00.000-04:002008-04-23T07:16:00.000-04:00It really is not boring, but it is the worst of al...It really is not boring, but it is the worst of all her books!

I have started reading it again. It is somewhat better now that I am passed the whole play thing, but I can tell you now this is not going to go on my re-read list.<BR/><BR/>Lawanda, looks like we cross commented! What are the chances that I was commenting on your blog at the same time as you were commenting on mine? Get the book. It is so good.

Definitely looks more interesting than Mansfield Park.

Having grieved the loss of my own babies, I cannot even imagine someone intentionally creating a baby, just to intentionally kill that baby for "art." The idea sickens and grieves me to my core.Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436720646561133434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303944508136899903.post-66234357646678216482008-04-18T14:03:00.000-04:002008-04-18T14:03:00.000-04:00Thank you for posting this so I wouldn't have to. ...Thank you for posting this so I wouldn't have to. I think about these things a lot. Especially since I'm sort of a isolationist. I know the people I've known and trusted for years and I'm hyper-wary of letting anyone else in, lest they get to my kids. I read the article that Jess put up on Making Home and I just wanted to run away. I actually told Del a couple of nights ago that sometimes I just wanted to die and I can't understand why Jesus doesn't come back and fix all this.<BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure what I'm getting at here. It's funny because I feel like I am in so much despair over all this...hmmm...Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028600889013935580noreply@blogger.com
