Great Timing

I was randomly searching Jane Austen-related articles, and I found this article about her newly-released and published will. And there's a ton of others, besides.

I don't know why, but knowing who she left what, and what was important to her, makes me feel happy and sad at the same time.

It's always fascinating to come across a piece of one your favorite writers' *real* life (although I did quit reading Fyodor Dostoyevsky's letters to his wife when in one of his early ones he wrote: "I hope no one except you will ever read this." I just instantly felt like a papparazzi & stopped reading LOL)

Absolutely! It just brings you that much closer to someone you wish you could know in more ways than the written word can express.

LOL,I can see why! It's hard to read past that, especially when you're already emotionally attached to the writer and don't want to go against his wishes. :)
