Still in Auburn
Listening to... myself typing
Feeling... bored, blank

Meh, I don't feel fabulous today. I had a nice time going to the library this morning. They didn't have any regular learn-french books, so I brushed up on a Babar book that had everything in French and English. Pretty useful, actually, and the pictures and story were better than anything they write for adults. :P

Now that I'm done with all of Jane Austen's full novels, maybe I should try to rank them in order of my preference.

1. Pride and Prejudice
2. Mansfield Park
3. Emma
4. Sense and Sensibility
5. Persuasion
6. Northanger Abbey

I'm not certain about that ranking of Persuasion. It had -by far- the best declaration of love, but my memory is fogged by whether I liked the movie. I just watched S&S and really loved it, Persuasion has not had a big-budget treatment, so it wasn't as prettily done as the others. Since I mentioned it, I'll rank the movie versions as well (I have not seen any films of Northanger Abbey)

1. Mansfield Park
2. Sense and Sensibility
3. Emma
4. Pride and Prejudice
5. Persuasion

My ranking of Pride and Prejudice surprises even myself. Everyone adores it so much, but I don't remember being completely enthralled by it. I stand by my rankings.... for now.
