I was sooo tempted to click Eleanor Tilney...but I like Catherine's eccentricity and gothic novel reading so much; and she's SUCH A LUCKY GIRL! *sigh...* I love Mr. Tilney.
That cover is hilarious, Dew!!

One of the more interesting Austen books. I'm excited to report that in my Sensibility class we will be reading Anne Radcliffe's The Italian. If I like it, I'll have to read Udolfo then reread this classic.

I had the wierdest Northanger related dream last night! I was sitting in this tea shoppe and Mr.Collins came in with Isabella (Weeeird) So, I had a panic attack and tried to seperate them ( the Thorpes are terrible... but Mr.Collins is just too stupid to see that I suppose) anyways, Miss. Thorpe takes Mr.Collins to Northanger Abbey (I hid in the bushes) And basically Isabella kills Mr.Collins (smothering him with a pillow) and the rest is just my Mr.Tilney fan girl side at its best! I know no one wants to hear that! ninja 4laugh
