Another perk of libraries is that when I check out an audiobook and predictably fail to listen to it, it gets returned and I can rest easy knowing that checking it out at all has already benefited my local library. I can even do it again later and it will only bring further good things, for free, forever

VS buying an audiobook, failing to listen to it, and having to stare at it in my audible collection knowing I spent $10 on something I never used. And then imagine doing that again. Hellish. Get a library card and download the libby app

Just finished watching Persuasion (95) and I'm reading the book right now (I knooow, wrong order) and man where was this movie all my life?? I've seen prtty much every Austen adaptation and read all the books (exc Persuasion for some reason) and have to say, though I haven't finished the book yet, it's the best adaptation so far of any Austen book. Like, I love BBCs Emma, and yeah I'm fond of PP05 because it got me into Austen, but Persuasion man. Also thank you for giffing this movie

I KNOW RIGHT?? I think the reason why people would miss Persuasion when getting into Austen is because it’s her most mature novel, to a point where it feels like a whole other person is writing it (i don’t mean style wise, but the subject matter and tonally it is very different from most of her other pieces), and this translates to the 95 adaptation to. It just feels so intimate while giving us Romance with a capital R the only way Jane Austen can. I LOVE IT! I’m glad that for the past few months I have been able to get people to watch this gem of an adaptation. I wouldn’t mind a new adaptation, sure, but to be honest I’m completely satisfied with the 95 version. Now, if only they can do a criterion remaster... 😏

Maybe it is love, as much as it can be, for somebody. Somebody who sold you to Humble Pie for fifty bucks and a case of beer! I was there! I was there! What kind of beer?
