I've gone and done it: I've finally left my Harry Potter game on GJ. It feels so weird to be out. I've been playing there for almost a year (the end of this month). I sent PM's to the two players I know I'm really leaving in the lurch, and one has already replied, thanking me for my thoughtfulness in doing so, which is a huge relief that she's not like, "Grr, damn you, you've ruined my plot!" I had been thinking about it off and on for a while, but especially lately when my characters just have not been talking to me at all, and they're very "eh, whatever" about responding to other characters even though _I_ want to PLAY. Plus my heavier school load this semester, and I realize that I really do neglect Morgan in the evenings. So I figured this was a good time to bow out gracefully, though there would never be a time when I wasn't involved in any plots at all, so somebody would end up holding the bag no matter when it happened.

So... yeah. I feel all, like, grown-up and responsible and stuff. Now what do I do with all this newly free time?

WoW... Persuasion... season 2 of Battlestar Galactica...

*sigh* Austen it is.

Book #15 - Persuasion

See, I really did pick it up instead of playing WoW or watching Battlestar. Yes, that odd light above my head is a halo.

Anyway, yes. I think I must have read Pride and Prejudice in high school, but it was long enough ago that reading Persuasion was almost like being introduced to Austen for the first time. I didn't find her language that difficult, and I liked the main character, Anne, very much. And goodness, there's a love letter at the end that just made me go, "zomg, I want one!" This was Austen's last novel, and all the maturity and skill of her too-short life are brought to bear here. This is Good Stuff.

Title: Persuasion
Author: Jane Austen
Pages: 243 (paperback)

15 / 50 (30.0%)

... and I realize that perhaps I have miscalculated in the shipping dates for my textbooks, as the next book I need to start reading is Jane Eyre, and it isn't here yet. Grr. Library time, I suppose.
