Two weeks ago I finished Emma, and the last week as my reward for decluttering the first floor, I watched part of Emma on You Tube for every section or room finished. I’ve finished both older and newer versions (the one with Kate Beckinsale and the one with Gwyneth Paltrow). I honestly cannot say which one I like better — I didn’t think I’d like the Gwyneth version just because it’s not as faithful to the book as the other one, but I must say they did a great job with it! And there’s no ignoring Jeremy Northam’s Mr. Knightley. I actually can’t decide now if I like P&P better or Emma. If I were to choose, I’d probably choose Emma because I’m actually more like her personality-wise than Elizabeth Bennet.

Hi! I saw Emma this weekend too! I like the clothes in the Gwyneth’s version. Saturday was stay at home day so my hubby and I watched (back to back) Pride and Prejudice with Lawrence Olivier (what do you think of him, I thought he was kinda effeminate here) and then with Colin Firth (the best Darcy)! I read some of the supposed sequels to Pride and Prejudice but of course nothing compares to the original (like Scarlet novel to Gone with the Wind). Have you checked out the PBS website with the men of Austen? It explains how much 5000 pounds a year means to our economy now. Happy monday!
