At first: sorry if my English is bad but I`m German...;o)

I really adore Jane Austen-films and I read some of her books (unfortunatly not in English), too.

Last friday the 2007-version of Sense and Sensibility were shown and I fell in love with that film. I love Jane Austen!!!

I started reading Jane Austen when I was eleven/twelve, actually because I saw Jane Eyre on TV and asked my mother if she could buy the book, but she couldn't find it so she bought me Pride and Prejudice in swedish. And I loved it so much and started reading her books in english, I have Austen to thank for my good english. Never learned a thing from my english teachers :) I eventually found Jane Eyre, and loved it, too.
