Unlike most epic adventures, this did not begin at Walmart. It began my freshman year of college. For spring break I travelled with my then-boyfriend to Fort Knox, Kentucky to visit his family. While there, I visited a Barnes and Noble in the suburbs of Louisville where I bought my copy of the complete works of Jane Austen. I had been meaning to read it for the past 3 years, but I never got around to it.
This past summer I finally decided to go for it. Not only was this book full of great literature, but it also was very good for working out. I usually did several reps of Jane every day. It took me most of the summer (and into the school year) but I finally finished it. While reading it, I discovered that each novel was my favorite while I was reading it, so I can't pick out which one I enjoyed the most. I think that my favorite might have been Northanger Abbey just because her style was different in that book.
Most people would probably say that it's silly to have this item on a ring list, but if I ever get married I don't know that I would ever get around to it. I also feel that I should continue improving my mind at this point in my life and reading the classics is a great way to do it.
