    Does anyone know when the S&S discussion is going to begin?

    I've been reading Persuasion. I'm really enjoying it. I'm about a third in, and I find Austen's prose to be exquisite. And while I'm not sure the story has the depth of Pride and Prjudice or Emma, her prose seems tops here.

    I wish I would have found this thread earlier because I just started reading Pride and Prejudice.
