My Everything Austen II Challenge List

July 7, 2010 (0 comments)

I have been terribly remiss in not posting this sooner! But here, in all its glory, is my list of Austen and Austen-themed literature, film, and pastry to be read, viewed, and baked within the next 6 months:

1. Read Austen's Northanger Abbey (ah, the suspense, romance, and witticisms!)

2. Read Austen's Lady Susan (somehow, I only just discovered this one!)

3. Read Cathleen Schine's The Three Weissmanns of Westport

4. Watch BBC version of Pride and Prejudice (b/c really, I have never been satisfied with any other version!)

5. Watch the most recent version of Northanger Abbey

6. Attempt some form of scone, Sally Lunn bun, or other Jane Austen-era pastry. This will be quite the experience/experiment!

Not to mention, I actually lived in Bath for several months back in 1996, as a doe-eyed college student, so this entire challenge makes me a touch sentimental--in the best possible way.
