Because I am a bit of a twit at times, I therefore refused to read it until I was an adult and doubt that I ever told her that I read it. Darn it. It is a really good book--not as meaningful to a Montana farm girl as a New Yorker, perhaps, but still good. My mother also loved Austen so I still haven't read any Austen books nor have I read my mother's all time favorite--Little Women. What have my daughters refused to read because I became effusive over them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-377876762833892072007-12-21T11:09:00.000-05:002007-12-21T11:09:00.000-05:00great list. i have yet to read a jane austen book...great list. i have yet to read a jane austen book.

And I have to admit (and Jan knows this is true LOL), much to my chagrin, I have not read any of the Harry Potter books.
