Highlander: Jane Austen

I watched the first in the series of The Complete Jane Austen on PBS
last night. It was a 90-minute adaptation of _Persuasion_  ... and I
haven't read the book, but this one is no _Pride and Prejudice_ if you
get my drift. Unless, of course it is, and reading the book would be
an improvement upon the television adaptation.  Next week is
_Northanger Abbey_  which I also haven't read.
I have the complete works of Jane Austen in one volume around the
house ... somewhere. I could also download and read them on my li'l
puter, but that seems not nearly so pleasant as finding the book and
curling up with some hot cocoa, surrounded by dogs and warmed by a
nice down comforter.
It's January, you know ... comfort counts.
