Isn't it fantastic? I'm really excited to get it now, actually. Those two weeks it takes for the Book Depository to ship are seeming a tad on the long side all of a sudden. I think this bodes well for my commitment to read the book...

I've been "persuaded"...
You may or may not remember my post from a few weeks ago where I finally came clean about my true relationship with Jane Austen's "Persuasion." And revealing my dark secret like that got me thinking about all the reasons I've never buckled down and read the actual book. And so I resolved (Again. For, like, the hundredth time) to read it for real. But I'm serious this time! So I was trying to think of what would make me really want to read Jane Austen's work rather than kicking back with the movie. And then it dawned on me. A copy with an awesome cover! One that I really love. So I bought this one via the Book Depository:

Persuasion is my favorite Austen novel. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cover...but the inside contents are even better! Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteYay! That is an awesome cover, btw. Can't wait to hear what you think of it. Persuasion is my favorite Austen too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the Vintage Classics covers! Yes, those are very nice-looking. Good luck with Persuasion; I do think it's Austen's second-best novel after P&P. My tip is to try and persevere past the first 40 pages before giving up - the story picks up a lot after that.
ReplyDeleteI'm still working up to reading Persuasion. I borrowed the DVD from the library and am going to ease my way into it. Can't wait for your review.
