Re: from Rory: new 6 partnPride and Prejuice
Haven't there been enough movies based on P & P? Austen wrote six novels
and the minor works. Why don't they look at Edgeworth's Belinda or

Excuse Me, Jane Austen, and Rediscovering ¡°The Bertrams¡±
I'm reading it and it's excellent. I also recommend as the best book on

Re: O: a third stroke event
Glad to know you survived the episode and that you have some interesting
books to read. Settle down with cats and books. Petting cats is said to be
