Last night I had the sudden need to read Austen. Yes, Jane Austen. I swore off Ms. Austen after reading Pride & Prejudice for the second time. I came away just as annoyed and disappointed as I had the first time. Elizabeth Bennet was never my idea of a heroine. Yes, I should have given up on that title and not everything Austen. Several months ago I discovered a brilliantly written film, The Jane Austen Book Club. Somehow, someway, that film gave me the push I needed to revisit Austen. Granted, it has been several months of pushing, but last night it pushed me right into reading Austen/Tara Rowe, Political Game. More here.
