Books read in 2026: No. 15 -- Sense and Sensibility

by Jane Austen

Started: October 22
Finished: November 11

Notes: Been a while since I've read any Austen, and I usually find her amusing, so I thought it time to check out more of her work. I've seen a movie version of this novel, but it was years ago and I remember very little.

Mini review: I actually saw the new film version of this novel during reading it, so it was interesting to compare the differences between the older version of the movie I had seen with the newer version and with the book itself. Somewhat to my surprise, the book isn't as melodramatic as either film version, but that's not a good thing or a bad thing, just different ways of telling the same story in different mediums. Also, I still find Austen not only a charming writer, but actually quite funny.
