The Jane Austen Head Spin Plan of Attack

It is a truth universally acknowledge that a blogger in possession of a good audience must be in want of a reading challenge. The challenge? Read all six of Jane Austen's novels in the month of January.

And just like how one can not simply walk into Mordor; one cannot simply walk into a reading challenge. I've outlined the order in which I will read them below. I'm going in order of publication date:

• Sense & Sensibility (1811)
• Pride & Prejudice (1813)
• Mansfield Park (1814)
• Emma (1815)
• Northanger Abbey (1818)
• Persuasion (1818)

I will update this blog with my progress a few times a week (every day if I can). I am using ratty copies of the novels that I purchased at a used bookstore as the free Kindle versions are oddly formatted.* 

Along the way I might even watch a few inspired movies based on the books. A few not so much**. It's going to be a Jane Austen fest this month.

Bring it on, Zombie Austen.

*Thanks Amazon! 
**the movie Clueless is loosely based on Emma, apparently.
Note: I am also reading 1Q84 this month. I figure it will balance out my sanity level.
