BECOMING JANE

I have read several books by Jane Austen but I never really got into her story, of who she was and what not. I'm up late, early, however way you want to see it now that in 4 hours I'll be up for 24 hours...by mistake mind you...but anyway, so Becoming Jane came on and I watched it.

I got to say...I thought it was sad, more sad than any star crossed lovers' story that has ever been told...she sacrificed her happiness for him...even though he didn't want her to, she still did it. She never married because she loved him.

I know, yeah, yeah...sounds too damn girlie and all that hokie crap...but I can relate to her, why she did it and the circumstance. It also makes me want to re-read the books that I do have of hers and read more...now that I do know.
