My friend Becky is taking on a personal challenge to read the Jane Austen books before seeing the film adaptation on Masterpiece Theatre.  It is a worthy challenge - - so much better than that gothic stuff she's been reading!  *coughJaneEyrecough*  On her website is a quiz to determine which Austen heroine you are most like.  The answers can be surprising......I know mine was!  

 I am Elinor Dashwood.  Yes, that Dashwood girl - the one from Sense and Sensibility.  Sadly, the Austen novel I like the least.  So now I'm forced to reread this book to try and find out what Elinor and I have in common.  Oh wait.....isn't Elinor the character who broke down in tears at the end of the movie??  Did she do that in the book as well?  I can't remember.  All I *do* remember is that she married that wimp Edward Ferrars.

Hmmmmm.....I think I'd better take that quiz again.
