  4. I like to read retakes on Jane Austen's work, I like how someone else puts a twist on the story. I have a few on my kindle but I cannot remember the names of them at this moment.

    No, I really don't want to be able to see the future. Now if I were a time traveler, it would be a bit different, but I still wouldn't want to see MY future.....

    Like fairy tale retellings, I'm intrigued by new works on old tales. I like what Cheryl said - putting a twist on the story. It's interesting to see how the original has evolved, and in this case, been modernized.

  23. I like the original one as well, although Marianne bugged me sometimes. I felt it was one of her deeper felt books with all the heartbreak.
