Sense and Sensibility

I haven't gotten around to updating lately because of school and my super nerdy conventions and competitions. I just joined my college's Scholar's Bowl team which leaves me with even less time to read. Since I have this week officially off from all Scholar's Bowl related activities I might actually have time to finish a book.

Currently, I am reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Now, I know it's a classic and you would assume that everyone has already read practically every Jane Austen book on the face of the Earth, but I've just started reading her books.

Sense and Sensibility is a lot like all of her other books that I've read (which by the way is only Pride and Prejudice) in a way because it deals with love and misery then love again. This one deals with the scandalous Willoughby and the not so attractive, but still quite charming Colonel Brandon and lastly, the shy and senseless Edward Ferrars.


Now, I haven't finished reading this book; therefore, I don't have much to tell about the book or how it ends. I still have 100 pages left to go. Unfortunately, even now, nothing, but misery has plagued the girls and I am starting to wonder if they will ever find true love.
