Happy that you're enjoying Persuasion. It has my favorite bit of dialogue of any Austen in which Anne, speaking with a male character, is debating whether men or women love more intensely.

My doctor took me off of the same pill several years ago, even though I had had no adverse reaction to it after 6 years. She said that one should not take that pill for more than 5 years, but I don't remember the exact reason why. Out of curiosity, I'll try to remember to ask her the next time I have an appointment.<br /><br />Mary G. in Texas Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-43623723788296633412014-02-11T17:14:54.052+00:002014-02-11T17:14:54.052+00:00Persuasion is my own favorite of Austen's nove...Persuasion is my own favorite of Austen's novels, so I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying.<br /><br />Good news on the medical front, then.

It does not mean I do not have a couple years stacked (spilling over everywhere!) waiting for me to sort through them and rip out the things I keep (some covers, some cartoons, some great articles; anything written by Alex Ross, their classical music critic who is very good and very smart even if his musical tastes are not the same as mine; usually anything by Adam Gopnik, too; and so on.)<br />Hope the new doctor‘s advice is just the ticket.<br />cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-71274236380360714482014-02-11T14:18:25.033+00:002014-02-11T14:18:25.033+00:00So glad to hear you received positive medical news...So glad to hear you received positive medical news.

I think it was called the Christmas Miracle. Oddly, I have read Persuasion several times without moving on to Mansfield Park. I quite liked the film version of Persuasion, as well.
