I have recently finished reading/listening to Persuasion by Jane Austen. I was extremely impressed with the plot line in this novel, just as I was impressed with Sense and Sensibility. I have never been a big Austen fan until The Finer Things Book Club pushed me in the right direction. I am in debt to Cristy’s selection of Sense and Sensibility because without a little push I doubt I would have read anything by Austen until I was teaching it in a class. I’ve read Pride and Prejudice in the past but thought it was just okay. Perhaps at the time I wasn’t intrigued by the idea of romance, but now I have a thorough enjoyment of it. I thought Persuasion had a very heartening ending that made me want to kiss Chris a thousand times… I was on the road to Utah so that was a no go. Come this weekend you better believe I will be setting up a date night with Chris. Who knows it might happen on my lunch break from Wal-mart. Modern day romance here I come :)
