Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

north & south

I finally just finished watching North & South.  It was good, but it was really just Pride & Prejudice.  Everything I liked about it is what I love about Pride & Prejudice.  Margaret is not nearly as likable a character as Lizzy, and Thornton takes a lot longer to warm up to than Darcy.  Netflix's accumulative rating is 4.5, but I'd say it is more a 4.  The supporting characters and the back drop weren't as likable for me.  I guess I just love Pride & Prejudice too much, and it can't help but fall short in comparison.  I am glad I finally watched it though.  Cranford is definitely the superior story of the two Gaskell adaptations I've seen.  I really love Cranford, it has such a wonderful cast of characters.
