I just finished reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. Who out there has read it? What did you think? Although I think her other novels have more plot to them, the writing in this one was filled with more humor and introspect into the heroine. Juan is glad I'm done with the book because the last two nights I have been up too late (1:00 in the morning) reading. (Mind you, it wasn't because I was dying to read the book, it was because I had made the mistake of taking a nap with Siena two days in a row and I wasn't tired.) Okay, that's all.
p.s. Juan just told me he is going to grow a "finals beard". Good luck with that, hon. *we'll see who can hold out the longest*

I have read this book but it's been a while so I'm a bit rusty...I do remember laughing and liking how Jane Austin was making of the silliness of her time. I love All of Jane Austin's books!
Hey sha sha,
I've read it too! I liked it because I feel like I am probably as naive as the heroine was. Oh well. Have you read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Ann Bronte? It's really good, and very sad in the middle but it ends... well I can't tell you how it ends. It would ruin it for you.
I heart Henry! He is one of the best male characters Austen has ever written, trumping Darcy in my opinion.
