Let's take inventory, shall we?

Decide for yourself how obsessed/insane/[insert other adjecteive here] I am.
I own: all 6 Jane Austen novels
Pride and Prejudice 1995 and 2005
Sense and Sensibility 1995 and 2008 (yes, holbytla, I had to get the new one)
Emma 1996, with Gwyneth Paltrow
Mansfield Park 2007
Northanger Abbey 2007

Persuasion 2007 I'm kind of meh about, and I haven't read the book yet. My prediction is that I'll eventually read it.

Let's not forget my 3 versions of Jane Eyre, two of which are so bad that I would burn them if possible, and my multiple copies of Lord of the Rings, both books and movies.

Yes, I do own other books and movies. Just that the ones I really like, well, more is better.

Hmm, both the "nerdy" and "geeky" mood theme pics are of Mr. Collins. I cannot escape him!

Geeks too...

My mother owns all of the above! We love to get together during vacation time or a three-day weekend, in our pajamas, and have Jane Austin marathons. We always start with the Collin Firth big Pride and Prejudice, then Sense and Sensibility (I didn’t know their was a 2008,) and then Emma. Then if we have it in us (and we usually do) we watch the 2005 Pride and Prejudice.

… good times. I always know I am on vacation when we do this.

S&S 2008 just aired on PBS last Sunday and the Sunday before, and was just released on dvd. It's more dramatic than the Emma Thompson version. My love for Jane Austen started in December '06, when the newer Pride and Prejudice was (strongly) recommended to me, and I fell in love with it immediately. I could totally do a Jane Austen marathon. Often I put on one of the movies for background noise.
