I'm on page 103 now, by the way. Umm... yeah it's a really good book, and really well written for its time period. I still prefer Sense & Sensibility though... I like how he's adapted to the island...

I kind of agree with Janine, but this is the book we're talking about, not the film (which I haven't seen by the way).

I agree kind of. However, I think that this book, because it was Austen's first novel, is lacking of experience. It could have been much thicker, and intricate, and outline the finer points of the...

Well, I'm on page 65 or something now. Robinson has just been really successful at the plantation he is earning money at, and has just sailed off fromt there. Remember that part?

Yeah, again I agree. Something I found rather unexplained properly is why Lucy eventually married Robert. I didn't get the whole background around that. I got the basics though. I just didn't get the...

Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen

Okay, so I'm on page 40 of 449 or something like that.
Robinson has just landed onto the island with Xury, and met some friendly natives. Anyone care to talk to me about the book and share ideas...

I completely agree. I found it funny that Elinor's sense led her to marry the man that she had the sensibility to, and Marianne's sensibility led her to marry the man that she knew it was sensible...

What I was trying to communicate was that the title Sense and Sensibility, in my opinion, has an unrecognized profound meaning, which reflects the story considerably. What I was saying earlier about...

Firstly, thanks to Kiki for not spoiling it. :D
I have heard a few interpretations of the title of the book - that Elinor stands for sense and Marianne for sensibility, or that CB stands for sense...

Forums are to discuss. Plus, the deeper the analysis, the more intellectual and broader-minded it makes you, in my opinion. Yeah, I get what you're saying now, and I agree. I also enjoyed how each of...

Wow. Deep analysis. Yeah, but in terms of love from physical attraction and personality, I think it was Willoughby. With CB, I don't think Marianne found love, but more like they found solace in each...

I finished the book early yesterday night. That was a brilliant read. The thing I was amazed about most from the whole book was when I found out it was Robert married to Lucy instead. Wow. The ending...

Wow, I'm so far into the book now that I have only three chapters left, and I cannot believe this awesome conclusion. Marianne got an illness, nearly died, Willoughby visited and told Elinor his...

Yeah kinda I think. When I read more I'll repost.

Okay, you got me all excited now. I'll just have to keep on reading.

I think Eldest was a great book too.

Oh, I get it now. But this will only help Lucy and Edward's prospects, right? I don't get why he wouldn't marry Lucy after all this kerfuffle when he was willing to get disowned for the cause.

Hahahaha, he got kicked out. And Colonel Brandon invited Edward to his house. I have about 80 pages til the end of the book. I found it quite amusing when Mrs Jennings and Elinor were discussing what...

Hmmm... that kind of clear it up. Anyway, I'm at a point in the book where everyone has just found out about Edward and Lucy, and Marianne feels upset because Elinor comforted her about Willoughby...

I'll do it if you want.

I really didn't understand any of the above post, sorry.
Could you explain?

Yup, she is.
I've just finished the second volume now, and I didn't really get the ending. I don't understand if the Dashwoods have been invited to Charlotte's or not, because Mrs John Dashwood...

Is anyone on that website?
If so, can you add me as a friend.

Okay, so I'm on page 180 or something, and Elinor and Lucy have just seen Mrs Ferrars, and there was an awkward moment between Edward, Lucy, Marianne, and Elinor when they were on their own. That's...
