Dec. 27th, 2006 10:52 pmOkay, I had waaaaay too much fun with that movie quote generator thing... However, I couldn't get the images to post to the journal so no one will see what made me laugh hysterically. I seem to have more problems formatting these journal entries than most folks. It even acts wonky when I try and insert an LJ user...
de23 you will be pleased to know that I FINALLY watched North and South (that you loaned me an eon ago). I am going to spout some heresy here and state that I liked it better than Pride and Prejudice. Of course, I will have to read the book before I make that my final answer......

Oh, I want to watch it AGAIN!
I don't think you're spouting heresy at all. There are things about it that I enjoy more than P&P. At the same time, I think Gaskell was very influenced by P&P when she was writing the dynamic between Margaret and Thornton. I won't say I love it more, but perhaps I love it just as much.

Alas, I don't have any shiny icons...
