Greetings all! On March 11th, 6:30 p.m. at Metropolitan Coffee, the inaugural meeting of The Jane Austen Book Club will commence. I am a bit ashamed to say this, but I got this idea from a movie. That says something about my obsessive movie watching. But anywho there the idea is. For those of you who may not know, Jane Austen published six books (Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park and Persuasion) in the early 1800s, which today have become favorite reading for many people, I included. And the best part of the books is that many movie versions have been created from them. Yes, there are movie versions of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility but did you know the movie Clueless is based on Austen’s book Emma? Or that the male lead in the Bridget Jones’ Diary is from Pride and Prejudice? Again as you can tell I am full of useless knowledge. The purpose of this club is to read and discuss a book each month and then eventually watch the movies. And you are in luck because I own most of the movies. As you can tell I am an Austen freak. So please rsvp to me if you are interested in coming on the 11th. The first meeting will be to go over the schedule and see which book to read first. It will be good relaxed fun.

I'm excited! I think this will finally make me set aside time to read a book. This is a great idea!
