I like this kind of book. I also liked both of the "Pride and Prejudice" movies (1993 and 2005).

Thanks for sharing. ...Interesting post and article. Thanks for sharing. I started watching American Idol during Season 5 too. Now, I'm hooked. But this season is lacking for me. Tuesday night I was disappointed in the reaction of one of our young heroes. Going back to last Thursday night, I was touched by Sundance's tears for those who had been cut, but when he was called on it Tuesday night, he blamed it all on another guy. I saw the look on Simon's face when Sundance 'passed the buck' - he was as turned off as I was. I wish Sundance had admitted he has a tender heart and it was broken for those who were cut. Yeah, I realize he was embarrassed but it sure reminded me of a bunch of kids blaming each other. I was soooooooo disappointed! Is there a writing lesson in my observation? I thought I had one . . . :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
