Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen

Here's another delightful book for you Austen fans! It's light and very funny, a parody of 18th century gothic novels. The heroine, 17-year old Catherine, has been reading far too many "horrid" gothic novels and would love to encounter some gothic-style terror -- but the superficial world of Bath proves hazardous enough.

May I please have chapters 21 & 22? Catherine digging through the wardrobe in the middle of the night (and what her discovery turns out to be) is my favorite part of this book.

Heehee! That _is_ a good part. They're yours!

OK, I'll bite ... May I have Chapter 3 please?

[EDIT] Kara's got mail! But since this was a first attempt, I'd better wait for feedback before I try another one

It's yours! Happy reading :)

File received, Vlooi -- thanks, sounds great :)

My only suggestion for next time (which I hope will be soon) is to say "End of chapter 3" and leave a few moments of quiet at the end of the file. And of course you're welcome to add "recorded on (date) in (location)," as some readers do!

Thanks again! Now, would you care for another chapter? ;-)

I'll butcher chapter 6 next if you don't mind

Kristen · Post by **Kristen** » November 24th, 2005, 4:35 pm

Plopping down next to Vlooi to read Chapter 7, if that's okay..?

Thank you Kristen!

Cori, chapter 7 is yours -- enjoy!

I caught a sore throat so I can't do any reading today :( I'm jealous of you who can.

Oh, no, Kara ... hope you're awash in hot lemon and honey and that it's better in no time!

I have a question - the young men in my chapter cuss like sailors! But of course it's all bleeped out, eg. Oh, d -- it! How do I say that..?
