Austen in real Life

When I was in high school, Wilson Phillips was played on the radio...a lot. And it felt like the ladies around us were living life (and whatever relationship we had or hoped to have with them) according to their songs. Love blossomed with You're In Love. It made it through rocky times with Hold On (for one more day). It crashed and burned with Release Me. I said it then and I say it now, the guys I knew were living out the Wilson Phillips sound track whether we liked it or not (and no, we didn't like it nor did we like their music).

Now I'm reading Austen. I've read one book and I can already see the characters walking around me in real life.

There are Elizabeth's younger sisters (P&P). There's Emma. There's Willoughby (S&S).

Kinda cool...kinda creepy.
