Pride and Prejudice

It feels really strange posting after my last post. I seem to be having trouble moving on and getting back to business as usual. But I know I need to. So I'm going to take a deep breath and just post.

This isn't a post about the movie. I've been reading Pride and Prejudice with Miss Roxie and Ginger. This is sort of a confession. I'm not really enjoying the book. I love the movie (both of them). But for some reason, when I read it myself, I miss all the subtle humor and nuances. Even though I know what's going on, I know almost every line from watching the A&E movie so many times, it somehow seems flat on a printed page. But I found it read aloud online at LibriVox. The reader isn't especially animated, yet she stops and pauses in all the right places so the humor isn't lost - and I'm enjoying it much more. So I'll be listening to it on audiobook.

We found a P.G. Wodehouse there, too. We've been meaning to see what all the fuss is about, and, since Tim is under the weather, this seems like a good time to find out, so we're listening to P Smith in the City right now. I've been up and down, tending to Miss M, getting dinner, so I'm missing a lot, but Tim is laid up on the couch and seems to be enjoying it.
