Sadly I've only been able to read Pride and Prejudice, but t was by far one of the best books I've ever read. The language and story telling is just so rich and colorful and just gorgeous overall. It's a masterpiece and I wish I could read everything else she ever wrote. Unfortunately books here are a luxury and I've never been fond of virtual ones, but someday I will buy them all mwahaha LOL.
Srsly, insufferable is the right thing to say all right, all right XD
It's clear to me, that...person there is nothing but a troll OR someone extremely ignorant who probably thinks the TV guide is the best "book" ever written.
One clearly has to know and understand the time she lived in and when she wrote all her pieces, was very different, and also, it takes a much more intelligent and cultured person than the one who dissed her, to understand and fully enjoy her work.
And complaining about them being prim and proper is such nonsense. I think it's a shame that parts of the customs from back then have been lost. Like the wooing and romanticism AND proper chivarly. That's very romantic and very refreshing break from an age where everything has to have sex and stuff like that in order to be considered good. *sigh* Not everything has to have vampires or violence to be a great book =/. I think people these days forget that and hence don't know how to appreciate a superb author like Jane Austen.
