Went to the first meeting of our Jane Austen Book Club tonight. A good friend hosted it at her house. We had 10 women there; actually 2 of them were teen girls! We started by discussing our impressions of the book. That sounds kinda high-falutin', but actually we just chatted about it! Then we had snacks (yum!) and watched the recent Masterpiece Theatre version of Emma, chatting through the whole film! LOL I know that would drive some of you nuts, but I love doing that!
Our next meeting is in July and we will be reading Persuasion.

I've wanted to read Persuasion since seeing The Lake House. Below is a youtube video of one of my favorite movie scenes ever. It includes one very long uncut scene. The relevant part (re: Persuasion) begins at 1:10 and goes through 2:54. But if you keep watching, you get to view one of the most romantic dance scenes I think I've ever seen!
And now you know why I love that song by Paul McCartney. :-D
