She'll need better advice than that. The one Jane Austen story I tried bored me almost to catatonia before the second chapter. It might have been the inspiration for the definition of a classic as a book everybody wants to have read, but nobody wants to read?

I highly recommend the Pride & Prejudice movie with Kiera Knightly. One of the best films I've ever seen. Much better than the book.

From Mark Twain:
“Everytime I read 'Pride and Prejudice' I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.”
Which begs the question: Why'd he read it more than once? Was he just a conscientious workshopper?

I enjoyed the parody very much. I would have posted it myself but didn't want anyone to think I was referring to him or her. lol
