She never contradicts herself - if she's foolish/goofy one minute, she's not suddenly insightful/clever the next. And while I normally prefer the clever heroines, Catherine is simply adorable, and I can't help but root for her. Even if she has come to love a hyacinth...<br /><br />Henry and Eleanor Tilney are my favorites too! Can't wait to finish the book tonight!Vicki S https://www.blogger.com/profile/01052645354767036185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249443376563438172.post-73806771535788973142010-08-07T10:47:07.301-05:002010-08-07T10:47:07.301-05:00It was hard for me to stop reading this week.

This whole time I'd been wishing I was more familiar with it. My footnotes are constatantly showing references to Radcliffe so I bet you'll have fun with it.<br /><br />I'm glad you're enjoying the book. Austen is pulling hankies out of her sleeves for this one. I'm ejoying N.A. much more than my last Austen read, Persuasion, although P&P is my favorite.<br /><br />I haven't read Milkweed. I do remember hearing about the title though and I think it's on my old TBR list on my PC. I should put it on my shelfari list!Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506296443676360367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249443376563438172.post-61935576302036360802010-08-07T10:37:42.021-05:002010-08-07T10:37:42.021-05:00I thought the hyacinth comment was ridiculous too....I thought the hyacinth comment was ridiculous too. It seemed as though she was struggling to find anything to talk to him about and that's just what popped out.<br /><br />I'm glad Catherine's away from the Thorpes too. I would love for her to be able to form a real friendship with Miss Tilney - but that all depends on if the general will give them any time to themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.com
