Great job on the challenge – and I guess I am still one of the dwindling few who hasn’t read a Jane Austen novel. *sigh*

I’ll tell you a secret: I never did finish P&P! Either the book or the movie. I found them both funny, as far as the character studies went. I enjoyed both while I was reading them. It’s just that, after I put them down, nothing really compelled me to finish either. I’m sure I will eventually – it’s just not a must-read (or watch) for me!

You did great. Your goals were much more ambitious than mine!

I enjoyed doing this challenge. If I join in again, I might dare to set higher goals…

“All I Need is Jesus” is a great book.

P&P–I am one who loves, loves, loves it, as you well know, and it’s one that I love all the more which each additional reading. So if you don’t love it yet, there’s hope still. I’m just sayin’…

And the movie? Can I come over for a movie night? The guys can go ride bikes or something… I did get my husband to the theater to see the Keira version but getting him to watch six hours with me? Not gonna happen!

Potty training is an EXCELLENT thing to blame this on! Oh yes. I buy it. Totally! =D

And now I feel free to confess that although I like P&P, I don’t love, love, love it either. =D

[...] Nope. I did complete six of the nonfiction books, and 3.5 of the fiction books. I’m currently almost-done with Pride & Prejudice and Read more at http://callapidderdays.com/2009/06/spring-reading-thing-2009-wrap-up.html [...]

So glad you like P&P! It’s my favorite Austen, although all her books are a little bit different. And even though you didn’t finish your list, I think you accomplished a LOT, especially since that cold/flu had you down for quite some time.

Thanks for the inspiration to read more this spring! Can’t wait until the fall challenge.

I felt the same way about P&P. I liked it, but not as much as I thought I would, and when I went on a quest to read all of Austen’s books, I liked a couple of her others a lot better. I think you’ll love the A&E version!!

Thanks so much for hosting the Spring Reading Thing again!
