I picked up Mansfield Park at the bookstore. I have to read it so slowly in order to understand what's going on that after 2 days, I've only read 40 pages. These old novels are a challenge. I'm hoping it will help my brain stay strong. But she uses words that totally don't exist anymore, like "shew" and "gooseberry tart."
