This weekend hundreds of *self-proclaimed Janites* are congregating in Seattle for the Annual General Meeting of the Jane Austen Society of North America. The author of such classics as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma, Jane Austen is still a source of great fascination 184 years after her death. The Jane Austen Society of Minnesota is one of the most active chapters, with monthly book groups, English teas and outings. Minnesota Public Radio's Marianne Combs attended a recent meeting.
