Persuasion - In my somewhat humble opinion, this is her best book. I first listened to this one on CD (Juliet Stevenson is the goddess of Austen narrators, if you get the book on tape or CD, find one of her versions). There is a part of this book toward the end, where Anne Elliott, the protagonist, receives a love letter. It is not just a love letter, it is THE love letter. I pulled the car over, reversed the CD and listened again. So, I caused a seven-car pile-up, it was worth it. The 1995 movie with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds is excellent.







You need to stop being afraid of success. One of things I've noticed lately about both younger and older business owners is that they seem to be a little timid when it truly comes to being successful.

Sense and Sensibility - I think this is her darkest book, but you'll get a lot out of it. I see many parallels between this book and Becoming Jane. http://sanxuatsoda.ltd/ is an exceptional heroine, her strength and resolve is inspiring. For a movie choice, I cast my ballot with Emma Thompson's version. She takes some liberties with the stories, but good ones. She edited parts out with utmost care and added a bit here and there to enhance the audience's understanding of this complex novel.

I walked to the Highway Patrol offices which were locked up, but one of the patrol cars was pulling into the lot. I waited and spoke to him. He told me the roads were pretty good now and that the snowplows had gone through a couple of times between Tonopah and Goldfield. I went back to the hotel to rouse the girls from their slumber. I actually ran into Ron again in the hallway.

I sat and waited. It was all I could do. The snow slowly covered the car and I sat with Ernest Hemingway's bed on the side of a road. That weekend the worst blizzard in twenty years hit the Midwest. Fifteen people died and there was a hundred traffic pile up on the expressway. Indiana was declared a disaster area and Chicago nearly had to shut down. It took me two days to get home.

Anyway, naturally a movie about the world's greatest author was bound to attract the attention of her most ardent fan (that would be me, by the way). Becoming Jane is a basically fictionalized account of Jane Austen's early adulthood and her relationship with a young lawyer named Tom Lefroy.

The Crash is a shore wreck dive, that actually has nothing to do with a plane crash. There's a small plane at this reef that actually feel in the water when the USS Erie was hit by a torpedo. The plane itself is no longer in great shape, and some say isn't too recognizable, but the surrounding reef is impressive. Expect to see lots of coral heads in this area and to dive between 30 and 100 feet.
