I recently watched the film version of Pride and Prejudice, and enjoyed it so much I started re-reading the book and watching other Austen movies, including Sense and Sensibility and the recent "The Jane Austen Book Club." I thought it might be fun to join up with other Austen fans in Jax, and perhaps structure a Book Club similar to the one in the film.

It consists of three books: a 622-page Text, a 478-page Workbook for Students, and an 88-page Manual for Teachers.

Hey! I just moved to Jacksonville a few months ago, and this seems to be a pretty tough place to make new friends if you're already out of college. I was disappointed to see that there weren't a ton of active Meetup Groups in this area, so I decided to create my own :) I'm a city girl at heart, but I know Jacksonville has a ton to offer its residents if we just get out and explore. I loved a Meetup group I belonged to in NC called "Triangle Girls on the Town", so I'm hoping to replicate some of …

It's time to take another look at some of those books we read (or pretended to read) in high school or college. If you went to high school in the 40s or 50s, you actually read books! Authors of fiction such as Dickens, Tolstoy, Camus, Kipling, and Elliott are some of the ones to re-consider. Then there's all that nonfiction, of course, especially the ones we were supposed to read in history, social studies, anthropology and philosophy classes. I've discovered that now, as a gray-haired grandma, …
