Chris (chrismd) | 408 comments I have meant to read this for years - well, actually, decades. Maybe I should put it on the TBR list for this year.

I really enjoyed it! It actually made me love the '82 film with Anthony Andrews all the more. :)

Is it just me or has she lost the plot a bit? We haven't seen Jane in ages. It's honestly kind of annoying me.


message 13: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (gruton) I think she's moved past Jane and is exploring the other people in the social circle. I guess just writing about Jane got to be too tedious.

Backtracking. Go dig up a copy of the 1934 version starring Leslie Howard (aka GWTW's Ashley Wilkes) as that demmed elusive Pimpernel. It's wonderful!

I love both movie versions but Leslie Howard is definitely my favorite.

Joy | 84 comments 4. Master and Commander (Aubrey/Maturin, #1) by Patrick O'Brian Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian

This is a re-read, but since I haven't read it in nearly seven years I think it qualifies for this list. :)
