[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 161086, member: 3907"] I am a HUGE Jane Austen fan. I've read Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion (my favourite as well), Mansfield Park and Emma. I've seen all of the movie adaptations too. I love the language, the subtleties of behaviour, the way that the flick of a fan or the lift of an eyebrow could speak volumes. My favourite movie version was the 1995 P&P with Colin Firth. However the 1940's one with Greer Garson was delightful. HWGA, don't listen to your book club friend. If you take delight in the movie and TV adaptations, then feel free to do so. They may stray from the stories a bit, which may upset the Austen purists, but so what? They're really really fun. If you get a chance to see the BBC film version of Persuasion (starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds), it is a very good adaptation of the book and well acted. Sorry...I'm rambling a bit, but I get so excited when I find other Jane Austen fans. Trinity [/QUOTE]
