Proposal -- Jane Austen Book Club

I saw The Jane Austen Book Club a little while ago and so Jennie and I started reading Sense & Sensibility together but we thought it would be fun to start a Jane Austen book club. So the initial premise of my thoughts are these: We will read the six published novels, the Juvenilia as it is called and the two works which were completed posthumously and then read/watch The Jane Austen Book Club. We also propose that we read a book a month, get together to discuss the book and, if available, watch the movie or BBC production of the novel and then as a grand finale for our book club -- I will get the Jane Austen cookbook and we will all get together for a final dinner with dishes made from that cookbook. The order we propose is:
Sense and Sensibility (1811)
Pride and Prejudice (1813)
Mansfield Park (1814)
Emma (1815)
Northanger Abbey (1817) (posthumous)
Persuasion (1818) (posthumous)
Juvenilia
Sanditon, The Watsons and Lady Susan
The Jane Austen Book Club
Since all of her books are, for the most part, available free on the internet the expense would be minimal and we think it would be fun to get together and talk about Jane Austen and it would give me the incentive to read them all since I have only read three. There are no restrictions on who can join. So now the challenge to those who want to join is to read Sense & Sensibility by the end of October and we'll have a meeting about that book and watch the movie (one of Jennie and my favorites) in November. Everybody game? Let's do it!!
