Sense and Sensibility
Emma
Pride and Prejudice
Mansfield Park
Persuasion
Northanger Abbey

I'm losing all those stupid games
That I swore I'd never play
I've started already, and read the first chapter of Persuasion, so I hope it's that one. I'm going to go to bed soon, and watch the film, (which was excellent) and immerse myself in Austen. Sweet dreams.
I just finished off a couple of books, so i'll be starting Persuasion tonight.
I have a feeling that a few people, including myself, would like to do Sense & Sensibility second, as for the rest of the list - unless anyone has a preference to what order a certain book we read should be in, or any objection of my creating the list, the list will be put up tomorrow by yours truly

Hehe yes I am waiting on Sense and Sensibility, but as to the rest, it does not really matter what order they are in for me.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Is there a timeline for this LJ? When are we expected to have finished the book/ when do we start discussion?
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
We've decided to allocate three months per book, so this "book club" will continue for quite a long time.
People are welcome to join at any time, or choose to not partake in reading one of the books etc,
Poll closes tomorrow, by then we will know which book we will be starting with, i'll construct the order of the rest of them once this is done and post a timeline of the other books in my OP.
A separate thread will be made for each book, when we get around to reading it.
As for discussion, it can start the moment we start reading.The reading and discussing of the first book will officially start tomorrow and within that three months, along with the reading of the book, people are welcome to discuss it. Some may choose to discuss it only when they finish the book, but it's up to you. Once the three months are up we move on to the next book, but yeah, i'll post a timeline tomorrow so people are clear about the dates. I'll also repost this message in the new thread i'll create, linking back to this thread
I`m happy you opened it up for anyone to joint at any time. I wouldlove to join in but first i need to get the books! hehe (no books stores where i live) So I `ll be join you as soon as I can

Ah, I got distracted while reading Persuasion after the first five chapters, but now I'm ready to restart.
