Austen Lovers

Only two people voted?!  And, it happens to be that I know whose is whose... 

You can't vote for yourself, girls!  Remember, your purpose in life is to live for God and others - not yourself.  :P

Now, just in case you're wondering, my favorites are Ann and Fanny.  Ann because I would most get along with her in conversation; and Fanny because - yes - she's exactly how I would be...  :}  But! - Of course, I'm most like Eleanor according to the survey...  Don't know how that happened.

  1. I voted for Elizabeth Bennet...her husband made over 10,000 a year! :P

    Actually, Pride and Prejudice is just about my favorite fictional story so that's why I chose her!

  2. Hey--I had to pick the best since I could only vote once. ;) The problem is, I really like aspects of Fanny and Elinor and Emma and Elizabeth to have them all vie for first place with Anne.

    Now if you were to do a fave Austen HERO--I wouldn't pick Wentworth. I'd pick Mr. Knightley. I married him, after all. I KNOW I had the bumper sticker "I married my Mr Darcy" but that's only because it was the only one available. ;)- Oh, and I could write a whole blogpost of my own about how Edmund Bertram is a total loser. He's maddening.

  3. Oh, agreed on every point! I LOVE Mr. Knightley, can't STAND Edmund, and like certain aspects of the other heroines, too.

    I think, overall, Pride and Prejudice is the best constructed of Jane Austen's novels.
