Most wanted New Year Present!
This is my most wanted item for 2009:-
(would it make me more hopelessly addicted to all things Austen?)
2009 Jane Austen Wall Calendar
http://www.jasna.org/merchandise/calendar.html
from AustenBlog: "We received a copy of the Wisconsin Region's 2009 Jane Austen calendar and can attest to it as a lovely and useful item for the Jane Austen fan. The calendar features color illustrations by the Brock brothers, and nearly every day has an entry from Jane Austen's life or novels. The calendar is $15 plus shipping (see the order page for S&H costs) and they will ship to the UK. "
Hmm...a little bit expensive for me though....
This one has beautiful pictures (http://www.austenquotes.com/jane_austen_press/), but I don't really need it as I've actually been to some of the places!(not that I want to show off....)

[轉貼]古書展下月舉行 《愛瑪》初版售395萬
一向認為書中文字要比書本的價值高得多。對Austen的古本、珍本沒興趣研究，不過很好奇這本初版Emma是如何的樣子?
如果Austen知道她的書現在這麼值錢，會不會後悔她的版稅收得那麼便宜？(現在她的文字甚至已是public domain）

Pride and Prejudice MUSICAL
Just find this out at Austen Blog. A Broadway musical to be premiered in Oct. 2008!
http://www.prideandprejudicebroadway.com/
And you can have a taste of some of the songs at this web-site.
Forgive me, but I think the songs are so typically "fairy-tale"-like, It didn't remind me of Lizzy and Mr Darcy, but a Disney animation, Maybe I just can't picture Mr. Darcy singing and dancing...oh~~
In fact, there is an older version of a P&P Broadway musical in 1959 called "First Impressions", but I had never heard of it.
And here is another musical adaptation of P&P: (NOT the Broadway version listed above)

另一種《理性與感性》
在網上?晃，看到這片CD的名字，會心微笑，又一將奧斯汀商標「循環再用」的例子。 如果她有版權費，現在應該是億萬富豪了。
幸好我還算是頗為喜歡這個歌手。尤其是，極愛他填的詞。
Jane Austen實在?害，不止跨年代，跨文化，甚至跨媒體。
我認真的在考慮要不要把這片CD的消息告訴AustenBlog的外國Jane迷們...

Exactly 232 years ago....
On this day, a girl was born in a small town in the south of England. This girl named Jane would not have thought that she was to become one of the greatest writers of the English language, although only four novels got published during her lifetime, and two more after her death. She as a writer was not held in high regard by her contemporaries. But great works are timeless. Two centuries have passed and her novels are as popular as ever.
She would have been very glad to see this.
Happy Birthday!
