jane in the city

those of you that know me, know that i ADORE jane austen. i've loved her since i was in high school. gotta admit, initially, emma didn't do it for me, but by the end, i was hooked. then i read p&p, saw the bbc miniseries (thank god for fitzwilliam darcy and colin firth) and that was it - a life-long obsession was born. so, the recent interest in jane austen has been interesting and somewhat fun. though austen's own words, esp. those of p&p, will remain among my favorites ever, i've enjoyed reading some of the fake "sequels" and modern re-imaginings. there are a bunch of books due out this summer and one of them, me and mr. darcy, starts with this line: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single girl in possession of her right mind must be in want of a decent man." LOVE it!!
