Among the Janeites by Deborah Yaffe

 This was an interesting take on all of the fandom surrounding Jane Austen. It was listed as a source for one of the recent Jane Austen-inspired books I read, and it sounded intriguing. There are very committed people spending a lot of their lives studying, re-enacting, and writing in the Jane Austen vein.

The people stories were interesting as well as the description of the conclaves that are held both here in the US and in England. But I got a little bogged down about half-way through...it didn't hold my itnerest and there were too many people to keep track of... I'm going to take it to my next Ridgeview book club meeting to see if anyone wants it. It's time to clear out some of the books I've accumulated this spring!
