In my last post, I mention a spoiler for those who have read up to chapter 15. I meant to say up to chapter 18.

I'm shocked by how much I'm enjoying this book. A woman who works with me saw that I was reading Emma, and she said, "I saw the Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:09:09 GMT K A http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1896 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1896 It seems likely there'll be such a twist. I'm convinced Emma will end up with Mr Knightley, only because he's the only one who seems to be able to reprimand Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:04:10 GMT http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1895 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1895 Enter your vote today!

It seems the same way to me. I'm have no idea who is going to end up with who.

I am reading it and listening to it. The audio version I am using is from the late 80s read by a woman named Prunella Scales.

I was at my library's monthly book group this week (we read mostly contemporary novels) and we were discussing Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:19:35 GMT xtontox http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1891 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1891 You do not need to lead a discussion if you nominate a book. I ask that people who nominate a book read it and say something about it, even if it's just "I'm Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:40:13 GMT K A http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1890 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1890 Harriet's near worship of Emma I find a little frustrating. I also wonder what Harriet's background will reveal- will Emma be as keen to associate with her Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:11:36 GMT burke9497 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1889 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1889 As I've read further into the book, I'm starting to think that I was taking Emma (the character) much too seriously. Was JA trying to be humorous with her Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:59:43 GMT burke9497 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1888 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1888 I am not nominating anything right now, but I wanted to comment that The Winter of Our Discontent is a book that I would like to support at some point when the Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:54:18 GMT KarenLibrarian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1887 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1887 I'll have to put it on my to-nominate list, then. I just found two more books I want to nominate [The Winter of our Discontent by Steinbeck and Main Street by Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:50:58 GMT KarenLibrarian http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1886 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1886 I think calling Emma high maintenance is being tactful!! In the beginning of the book I found her to be an insufferable snob, and the first time I read it I Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:29:23 GMT Miranda Sessoms http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1885 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1885 Naomi Watts and Edward Norton were in the most recent 2006 version. IMDB doesn't list a 1962 version, but the original was in 1934 with Greta Garbo and Herbert Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:35:23 GMT K A http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1884 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crgII/message/1884 I agree that Emma seems very high maintanence. For the sake of Harriet I hope she's right about Mr Elton's interest.
