Jane Austen Mini-Challenge

Find out more info here.

This challenge lasts for all of 2008, and the goal is to read two Jane Austen books or watch their movie adaptations. I had already decided to read four Austen books (for the Themed Reading Challenge) in preparation for the Masterpiece Theatre Jane Austen Marathon in January and February. I have already read Persuasion and Pride & Prejudice, and of the six Masterpiece Theatre adaptations they’re going to show, I’ve seen Emma and Pride & Prejudice at least 2-3 times each. The other four are new, and they will also be showing a Jane Austen biography.

So my goal for this challenge is to read the books I haven’t read yet and to view the biography and the adaptations I haven’t seen.

Books:

  • Northanger Abbey
  • Mansfield Park

New movie adaptations:

  • Northanger Abbey VIEWED 6/2008
  • Sense and Sensibility VIEWED 6/2008
  • Mansfield Park VIEWED 6/2008
  • Persuasion

Jane Austen biography:

  • Miss Austen Regrets VIEWED 6/2008
