i've been wanting to read this book for a while just because... well, that's different. but i was surprised by how much it affected me. it absolutely made me rethink the way i look at & act around people.
read it. then come find me so we can talk about it.

i also read a book called england's jane by julianne locke which just goes along with the total jane austen kick that my sister & i have been on lately. in the last few weeks we've watched sense & sensibility, an old version of emma, & the new pride & predjudice (which i had waited til now to see -- & loved way more than i thought i would.) now i'm thinking about re-reading pride & predjudice, & i'm trying to get my hands on an austen biography by gill hornby, nick hornby's sister. apparently it's not on amazon, so if you find it let me know...
