I can just imagine someone with a love for Jane Eyre trying
to teach P&P or Emma in the same vein!! Yuk! Both are
great books, but they just have so little in common. I am
surprised you managed to crawl out from under the blackness

But, all that does not mean that I'm not counting the
minutes until JE is on this month...two more weeks!
