Jane Austen, You are My Hero!

Jane Austen is awesome. There are probably better words to use to describe her but I think she is awesome. She was a true wordsmith. The way that she could put things together is just amazing. I love her stories. I love Pride and Prejudice. I hate to admit though that I have a hard time getting through Austen's books. I am not used to that language. In "You've Got Mail" Kathleen Kelly says that she gets lost in phrases like mischance and thither. (I had to quote my favorite movie!) I am intrigued by her other books that I have not read yet.

I am reading "The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen" by Syrie James right now. It makes Jane Austen so real. I have to keep reminding myself that it is not real. I wish that it was. I wish that she could have had a love story. The book is great.

I know I am not the only one that loves Jane Austen. I love the "remakes" of her stories too. They are fun. They are timeless. That is why Jane Austen is awesome!

I agree. She is a wonder. A true romantic.
