Hi! As part of my challenge from "a very Wodehouse challenge" , I'm supposed to leave a greeting in this wonderful forum. So here goes...

First, I wish Jane would have had a beautiful birthday, and even though I'm about four months late, I think it's simply the thought that counts and to remember she is still valued throughout the world and this community of writers idolizing her. To be honest, the most I knew about Jane Austen until now was her book, Pride and Prejudice though. I'm fourteen, only just, and so I wasn't going to read her novel really. I might have read it when I grew older. It seemed like it was for people older than I. So the best I could do was to read the Wikipedia article on her. Well, you tell me, Miss Megan, do you think a fourteen year old could read Pride and Prejudice? If so, I could read it and it would be a lot easier to do the rest of my Wodehouse challenges. If not, I'll just have to poke around the internet about Miss Elizabeth and Mr Darcy.

Reading the Wikipedia, Elizabeth seems like a pleasant woman and Mr Darcy is also quite wonderful. And how they overcome their senses of "prejudice and pride", I really want to know! And I'm glad they got together in the end. It really seems like something I would read...if I were older. If I could read it, I just hope the romance between them doesn't go overboard. (You know what I mean...)

Jane Austen seems like a wonderful and amazing author and I really hope to read some of her works.
