Yeah, if it were me, I totally would've been like, "eh. baggage. Bring on the wedding."

Ah. I hear you. But, I have to say, that's one of the reasons I liked the book. While I wouldn't have acted the way she did, personally, and it definitely wasn't modern, I thought it was very feminist of her to stick to her ideals and morals (even if they were a little puritanical for me), and not give in just for…

So excited to read books and discuss them with all of you!

Really? unfortunately, I am with you on that one. :(

Do. It's worth it. :)

Sigh. So - basically the editor's idea behind having discussion threads to carry on conversations, instead of a lot of random comments, is going to fail. Because, why would I post something disagreeable within a discussion thread if the commenter can moderate me. I'm much more likely to create an entirely new…

Read Jane Eyre!!! It's one of the best books EVER! (that could just be my opinion, but I tend to think of it as fact).

Rebecca and Jane Eyre are two of my favorite books, and they are very similar in a lot of ways. But, Rebecca is different (if i tell you specifically how I will probably spoil the book). Jane Eyre was a story in perserverance so it wasn't all rosey. But, Rebecca is much more sinister. I don't really want to…

I fully agree. Just because someone is ignorant, or naive, or maybe just has a different viewpoint, doesn't make them a troll necessarily. The problem is that some people are very subjective about what a troll is to them, I think. If someone on this site make a very anti-abortion statement, their sentiment may be…

Also, can we make it so that when your mouse rolls over an avatar you get the entire text of the first comment? It makes me feel pressure to be pithy within the first five words I choose, and also means that I don't open what might be incredibly insightful commentary if the opening phrase doesn't catch my attention.

I know. :( I emailed gawker as suggested...so maybe some help is on the way. I agree with some other commenters that a tutorial would be nice.

YES!!!!! This would make me much happier.

Last comment. It seems that without being able to quicly peruse the comments, we run the risk of more "i haven't read the comments yet, but..." and have a lot of people posting the same thing.

I am totally open to this new commenting system. I wouldn't mind not being able to scroll through entire comments if:

Yes! so hoping this is true.

Ooh - I think Jena Malone would make a good Johanna Mason. i pictured Johana, though slightly built, with stronger facial features (like a younger Kate Beckinsdale almost). And Jenna can handle the tough-as-nails raw-sexuality that Johanna has going on. i like.

Cool. Thanks.

Some "discussions are closed." Is that going to be a new thing as well? In that we have to respond within a certain time frame to be a part of the discussion? I'm asking because sometimes I only get to hook up with Jezebel during lunch and after work and would hate to miss out on all the stimulating conversations.

First, i couldn't log in under my usual name, and it wouldn't accept what I think is my password. (So, I couldn't convert to logging on through gmail, twitter, or facebook.) So, when i tried to change my password it wanted me to enter a specific code that was supposed to be provided to me. the blank was provided,…
