Jane Austen Challenge

I have never read Jane Austen. I’m dead serious. I don’t think that’s very good of me, do you? I figured the best (and most fun way) to get myself to read them would be to do a challenge. So here you go.

I don’t know if there is already another J.A. Challenge out there somewhere, but I’m creating one. Sign up in the comments and leave your link, and pick the button you’d like. Don’t forget to link back to this post!

Rules:

--Anyone can participate. Bloggers: leave a link to your challenge in the comments. Non-bloggers, leave your name (and e-mail if you like)

**Newbie 2 books by J. Austen, 2 re-writes, prequels, sequels, or spoofs (by other authors)

**Lover 4 books by J. Austen, 4 re-writes, prequels, sequels, or spoofs (by other authors)

** Fanatic 6+ books by J. Austen, 5+ re-writes, prequels, sequels, or spoofs (by other authors)

--Challenge books can overlap with other challenges.

--Any format counts: bound book, e-book (check online for free downloads of J.A’s copyright-free books), audio book, or any other thing you can think of.

--Challenge runs January 1st 2010—December 31 2010.

--You can change which level you read!

 

Here is my list: I’m going for the Lover level, and I’ll cross each off or link the reviews as I go

  2. (J.A) Sense and Sensibility
  3. (J.A) Emma
  4. (J.A) Northanger Abbey

  1. Enjoy reading Austen. I wish I could read her novels for the first time again. :)

  2. I can't say i've read them, but we own all the BBC version DVD's. Once you are finished you can borrow them to celebrate and compare.

    ReplyDelete

  3. I love Jane Austen (though I haven't read her in a while) and I'm so excited to see a challenge for her books. I will be joining as soon as I get my blog post written out and published. Thanks for the fun challenge!

  4. Yeah? I could get some from Project Gutenberg or something and put it on my e-reader? Wow. Cool. Gotta look into that...

    All posted about at Win a Book. Thanks for the heads-up!

  5. Stephanie from Stephanie's Written Word hosts the Everything Austen Challenge, but it's about to end. I don't know if she'll be hosting it again next year or not, but I after scrambling to finish, I think I need a break from Austen.

    ReplyDelete

  6. I am going to think about doing this one. I have never read Austen either! **gasp**

    ReplyDelete

  7. I'm in the same boat! I've seen the movies, know the plots, love the characters but have never actually sat down and READ the books. Thanks for hosting this one - I'm in for the Fanatic level!

    ReplyDelete

  8. Are the levels, such as love 4 books in total? Or are the 4 Jane Austen plus 4 related Jane Austen/sequels etc?

    Also, if we started a book, but havent finished it, can I re-start that book and use it for the challenge? (I can't seem to get through Mansfield Park)

    ReplyDelete

  9. Very excited about this challenge. Here is my post Jane Austen Challenge

    Thanks for running this challenge!

    Also, some of mine aren't spoofs, rewrites etc. but they are books that I have already. Hope that's okay, I'll probably end up reading more.

    ReplyDelete

  34. Robinbird referred me to your challenge. I would go for "Lover", but I'm getting married this summer, so I'll settle for "Newbie" since I should be able to achieve that. I may end up somewhere in between!

  35. Thanks for starting this challenge! I am VERY excited to read more Jane Austen. I'm aiming for the Lover level this year.

    ReplyDelete

  36. I too did the Everything Austen Challenge at Stephanie's Written Word, but failed miserable. I signed up on Mr. Linky, but only shooting for Newbie, so hopefully I'll complete it this year ;-)

    It's always a shock to find there's someone who hasn't read Austen yet. You'd think I'd get used to it by now, but it always strikes me like watching a video of a dog walking on his front legs. I hope you enjoy and love her as much as I do and more!

  37. Sign me up! Here's my post: http://my-book-obsession.blogspot.com/2010/01/jane-austen-challenge-2010.html

  38. Definitely add me to the list!! I could certainly use some more Austen in my life.

    Here is my challenge post. Thanks!

  39. I just found this challenge, but I'd love to jump in! I put it up in my 2010 book challenge post here.

  44. Add me! I love Austen and this sounds like a great reason to either read something new or re-read old favorites.

    ReplyDelete

  45. Please sign me up! I think I will have to read at the fanatic level which will involve some re-reading. But, I have wanted to check out some of the spin-offs and spoofs!

  48. I love this challenge! Incidentally I'm going to shoot for the Lover level. :)I'm in the same boat- although I did start reading Pride & Prejudice years ago it got left by the wayside when the semester took a nose dive into insanity. My blog link is: http://kimberlyloomis.wordpress.com/

    Just as soon as I figure these things out I'll be linking back here.

  52. Well,
    I read Emma last year, Pride & Prejudice, last year, NorthHanger....Abby, last year...All because of PBS doing their thing of show Masterpiece Classics. Well, PBS is at it again this year, BUT, they've put the classics with new actors! Emma was great, can't wait to see the other two JA that they do......gaileee
    Don't see how you can read and review all these books! Woo!

    ReplyDelete

  53. I have a ton of Jane Austen novels and spin-offs, but I've only ever read Pride and Prejudice. This will give me a good reason to read the rest of them! I am going for the Lover level.

    I just found out about your challenge on Austenprose tonight and am definitely in the "Fanatic" category--LOL! I'm going to have to think carefully about my list of sequels and spoofs before officially posting it, but I'm at http://marilynbrant.blogspot.com and am really looking forward to taking part!
    Thanks ;).

  65. Ooh, this will dovetail nicely with something I'm planning on doing...
    I would suggest you read Persuasion (instead of, say, Mansfield Park...); it's fantastic.
    Also, do Jane inspired books that aren't necessarily rewrites or spoofs count (like According to Jane or Jane Austen Ruined My Life)?

  66. Hi! I was just browsing your site when I came across this entry, with a graphic that looked very familiar to me! ;-) As my work apparently gets spread around I'm sure you're probably not aware that I'm the one who made the original graphic that has now been emblazoned with your URL...if you would please add a small note crediting me as the original maker I would be very much obliged. :-)

  82. I'm game! www.momlovesbooks.com. I want to get to the Lover level too.. but I might have to be way higher on the classics and a bit lower on the spoofs... don't even know of any besides just hearing about the ones you just mentioned.
    I'm heading over to the UK in July and have been reading JA a LOT in excitement of doing a "Jane Austen audio tour" of Bath I found online.
    Great blog idea!! Lo)

  103. I just discovered the Mr. Linky feature. Lol. I have linked all 4 of my reviews.

    I have finished the challenge! I signed up for the Newbie level and I'm done! I may up my level!

  104. Yes...I think I will change my level from Newbie to Lover! I've got plenty of time to read more ... and in fact, I've already read two more!

    So please change my level to Lover. :)

  106. Oh, I have read two recently, so am on my way! With Emma and Northanger Abbey done, I will have to decide which one next...definitely an Austen lover, especially of filmed adaptations:

  113. I am participating!

    We lived in England from Jun 2007 to Aug 2009 and I didn't even manage to read any JA while living there! I decided that I MUST rectify that!

    I have read:
    Pride and Prejudice (Jan 2010)
    Emma (March 2011)

    I am not sure whether Helen Fielding's "Bridget Jones" books would be considered spoofs or rewrites or...?

    I hope to read a few more Austen titles this year. I am also trying to read as many other classics as i can.
