I did the unthinkable and actually already watched “Pride & Prejudice” before reading the book. Have to say that it’s one of my all time faves!

I’ve got all of the Austen books on my shelf – can’t wait until I have time to devour them… The Book Thief was a recent book club pick – I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it, but I found that I liked it quite a bit…

I have to say I’m disappointed that there is only one woman among your five favorite writers–and she’s dead.

Great answers, Jessica.

I loved Bel Canto and On Chesil Beach.

I see several titles on here that I’ve never heard of. Must check them out!
