Why am I not British?

So I was discussing British authors the other day via Facebook with my cousin, Hayley. This conversation- about our love for Jane Austen and the hotness of the actors cast in the movies- has inspired me that once I'm done with the Harry Potter books (which should be fairly soon), I'm going to try and watch all the movie adaptations that I can. I have already watched a lot of them, but there are some I'm missing. Thank goodness that youtube has most, if not all, of them!

I already some favorite versions, but I'll keep those to myself until I finish all of the same book. I'm currently watching the 1999 version of Mansfield Park, then will continue with the 2007 version and compare them. I have seen the 1999 version before, I'm just refreshing myself before I watch the next one.

If you have never read Jane Austen, everyone should at least read Pride and Prejudice. It's a perennial favorite! It's also the easiest to read, in my opinion, Miss Austen's Old English can be hard to comprehend occasionally.

Happy reading!
