I like Austen just about anything... even the breakfast cereal. :shifty:

Yes, I've seen every adaptation of every Austen book. :sad git smiley:

Do you mean the latest BBC adaptation or the the older one from 1981?

I loved it! I thought the setting was beautiful (almost as beautiful as the Emma Thompson film) and they brought out the characters very well. They were also quite faithful to Austen's dialogue, which is always something I look for in an adaptation as her words can't be improved upon.

...and yes of course I always cry at the end. :cry: :lol:
