Now I've finally read all of Jane Austen's completed novels. I thought Northanger Abbey was delightful. And I just discovered that there's a BBC production. Yay!
did you hear about "Sundays with Jane"? Starting Jan 18, 2008 every Sunday night, every Austen novel will be on Masterpiece theater. 2008 will be a good year!

No, I didn't know about that, but I did notice on amazon.com that those Masterpiece Theater productions are going to be available, presumably after they air. We don't have TV, so I'll have to get them some other way.
Funny how I'm never tired of seeing new versions of Jane Austen's novels. It's always fun to see someone else's take.

if you want you can watch 16 episodes on YouTube, someone uploaded the new version. Persuasion and Northanger Abbey was phenomenal.

Actually, Ivy has recorded the new Masterpiece Theater versions and I'll be able to watch them in a few weeks when I go to her house to watch her kids for a week. Yay! I'm excited to see them. Ivy said they've been good.
