The loves I loved most so far in my life were horribly flawed, as all of us are when we look real close. Selfish, vulnerable, charming, and childish, but they rocked my world and made it blurry and wonderful.
I for one am a sucker for romance!

I like the classic romance novels by the Bronte sisters, etc, however, I find Jane Austen's writing tiresome. I loved the movie versions of "Sense and Sensibility" (Emma Thompson's Oscar for screen adaptation was well deserved!) and "Emma". I like them better than the books, and that is unusual for me.
Another adaptation, which was on PBS a couple of years ago, was "Persuasion". I could watch it again and again! Ciarin Hinds played the Sea Captain whose courtship of a young woman was ended by her on the advice of her family. Several years later, they are again brought together by circumstances and the young woman begins to look at her life and how she was 'persuaded' to do things with which she didn't agree. I haven't read the book; I might find it tiresome as well, but the screen version was awesome! You might be a able to find it in your local library, or it is probably for sale on the PBS website. I'm fixing to check half.com, myself!
