Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: A Book-to-Table Classic | Jane Austen

It's well established in the book that Mrs Bennett was a beauty "in her youth" so this illustration made me laugh. At the time of the novel she'd likely be 45 at most (probably closer to 40) yet this artist chose to make her look a great deal older. ?

KadaGul I think 🤔 at the time, 40 seemed like 90🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 1mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm really noticing now that at 58 I'm older than all the 'old' characters. 😄 1mo

bookandbedandtea @KadaGul Right! I used to think it was due to the lower life expectancy but then I learned that number is due to the high rate of childhood death. Once a person reached adulthood there was every reason to think they'd live into old age so the view of people Mrs Bennet's age being old still strikes me as weird. 🤔 1mo

bookandbedandtea @Crinoline_Laphroaig Same! I'm 56 and it's always a bit of a shock to realize that some old person in a book is a good deal younger than I am! 🤦‍♀️😆 1mo

This is the novelization of Rose, the restart episode for the newer Doctor Who. It was good, but some of the additions seemed a little trite.

Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever | Matt Singer

I loved this book! It was like revisiting nostalgia which was reaffirmed for being as good if not more awesome than I remembered it! I loved these guys growing up and would often end up watching their syndicated show after the late-night talk shows went off the air on Fridays. These guys genuinely loved movies and enjoyed sharing their love and criticism of film with the world. They despised one another but came to respect and love each other
