I'm a sucker for these quizzes and I know how many Jane Austen fans there are here.

I pretty much knew who I would be and I was right - Elinor Dashwood.
Love to hear who you come out as!
Best wishes,

Some of the questions are hard to figure out. Like who is my best friend????? There wasn't an appropriate answer for that. My husband is my best friend.
Denise, I have read Northanger Abby. I like that one. My favorite though, is Persuasion. Anne Elliot is my all time favorite character. I love the book, don't like the movie.
I love Pride & Prejudice. I respect Mansfield Park, and I know it's her best work.
I love the BBC series of Pride & Prejudice (Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle). I kind of liked the movie with Keira Knightly because the visual scenery and the realism of the time period was great, but I didn't care for the way they did the story, I was a bit disappointed. I love Sense & Sensibility w/ Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. It was perfect.

I'm heading over to take the quiz now, thanks for the fun link!
Did anyone see the film Becoming Jane (http://becomingjane-themovie.com/)? I went with some girlfriends a few weeks ago and we all fell in love with it! Of course it's a fictionalized account of her "true love," but such a beautiful film - go see it if you can!  |

Funny that there are so many Elinors - I guess all farmgirls are practical and sensible!
I think my favourite is Mansfield Park, which is the most unpopular of her novels. I am not sure why it is my favourite, as Fanny can actually be very annoying at times. Next would be Sense and Sensibility - I do love Elinor!
Has anyone seen Becoming Jane? It is out on DVD here soon.
Best wishes,
Jayne |

I just read Persuasion this summer and I liked it. I'd find it hard to choose between Persuasion, Emma, and Pride & Prejudice. I think I like Emma the most, but there are so many film versions of Pride and Prejudice that it's reinforced more strongly in my mind. I just saw the famous miniseries this summer also! Liked it better than the new movie. |

My favorite is Persuasion--of course, I love the book, but I really love the BBC Production with Keiran Hinds as "The Colonel"...he's really dramatic, and it's sweep-you-off-your-feet lovely with swooning and everything!
I also really love Sense and Sensibility.

WOW! I am right with you, gal pal! Elinor Dashwood it is (and I couldn't be happier to identify with a woman of that quality)! Thanks for providing the link, Jayne! Hugs, Nance |
