Nng, Austen. So many people love her. What's wrong with me, then? Heheh, looks like you and I are on the same page with Jane Austen!
Books ... are... the crack-cocaine to my Amy Winehouse.

Austen drives me up the frigging wall. There are things I did like about Pride and Prejudice, and she can be very dry in places (some of the parts of Emma I read were good), but she is the Grisham of the period, no question. Every bloody book is the bloody same.
Ah, books - can't wait until I get my own place with bookshelves and get to unpack mine. I hate living without them stacked untidily around me. ^_^ And I need to start collecting MORE!

I could never get into Emma, either. I don't get why people like it so much. I give it a go every few years or so and I still haven't finished it! Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey were okay, and I quite liked the former, though the middle sagged a bit, I thought. But Emma...*shakes head*
Ooh...The Woman in White - I forgot I wanted to read that one! How did you find Gone with the Wind?
Hope you find a nice place, soon. Everyone needs piles of books!
Admin stuff for the *quails* organized people: which filters am I on?

I actually quite liked 'Gone With the Wind'. I didn't like the style very much, but the story itself was interesting and fairly atypical as romances go. In a way it wasn't so much a romance as it was a biography, I guess. Did you like it?
You are ooon ... *checks* RL, Writing Rambles, Writing and Talechasing. I may end up ditching the Talechasing filter though, since I can ... just post in Talechasing >_> *pats self on back*
