lurking love Jane Austen
I think I'm going to have to revisit the BBC Pride and Prejudice. We watched it in Brit Lit in high school, but it's been many years since then. I did love the Keira Knightly rendition and have watched it countless times. But I would also have to agree with prex79, that if we're talking about other Jane novels, I absolutely LOVE Persuasion with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds. They are perfect!!
prex, it's not a Jane novel, but have you seen the BBC's North & South serial based on Elizabeth Gaskell's novel? I just discovered it a few years ago and was totally obsessed. Who wouldn't drool over Richard Armitage?
Going down a rabbit trail here. I don't mean to derail the Jane Austen discussion, but when you mentioned Richard Armitage it reminded me of a movie I watched called The Impressionists. I couldn't place the face of the lead character, and then suddenly I remembered. Oh yeah! Thorin Oakenshield! (I'm an Armitage fan; just don't always remember his name!) The Impressionists was on YouTube and is interesting for us artistic types. Now...back to Jane Austen.
Oh yes! I liked him as Thorin Oakenshield also! Will have to look up The Impressionists! On a different note, I just picked up the BBC's Pride and Prejudice from our library today.
What a great theme! I love Jane Austen. Lurking for now, I want to make my cards before signing up.
If I someday get to England, I would love to visit Jane Austen's house, which is a museum that bills itself as "the most treasured Austen site in the world." Have any of you been lucky enough to visit?

So I have a confession. I went to a book store and bought a copy of persuasion and am loving it.
