I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. -Groucho Marx

jane austen

I just started reading Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. I've read Pride and Prejudice three times and absolutely love it, so I figured I should read some of Austen's other works...
The first chapter I honestly had to reread 5 times. Although it was only three pages long, my mind would wander so much and by the time the chapter was over I realized that I absorbed nothing. But once I finally got through that opening chapter the following chapters had a lot of dialogue and I've actually really enjoyed it so far.
That is one thing that I love about Jane Austen, she makes the conversations between characters so interesting.
