Oh, dear. :( That's too bad indeed... How did they do such a terrible thing?

Bill, remembering high school AP English when all the kids who called it "Pride and PUNISHMENT" stared at me in horror when I said I quite liked it...

Umm... Yeah, hate to say this, but me too. I am not too fond of Jane Austen or the Bronte sisters. Nor Dickens. And I am American, not English, so what is my excuse?? lol... Although, I adore Pride and Prejudice. Especially Mark Darcy.... *starts drooling very un-lady like* oops. Sorry... Mmm... Colin Firth.....

BUT I am not a total illiterate. I ADORE books, all types, except Gothic novels and such. *thinks of Emma and shudders*

OK. austen, people, is NOT gothic. she is a droll, dry comic genius. just like george eliot.

Oh dear no, the Bronte's can't be put anywhere near Jane Austen. Brilliantly witty social commentary does not need to be bothered with melodramatic repression.

I ended up writing a rather long paper on Jane Austen in high school, it turned out to be a lot of fun because you read up and catch all the little things you missed the first 40 or 50 times through the books.

40-50 times? Ack! To each their own. *smiles* And I have to admit, if you were able to read those books 40-50 times, you have my admiration. ;)

I have to admit, I did not even like P&P for a long time. Years, actually, after I had my first encounter with the story is when I started to like it... Or Mr. Darcy, rather. ;)

Oh, I agree that Dickens is HIGHLY overrated. Can't stand him. I don't think much of "the classics" often, actually... But I'm sort of obsessed with Jane Austen and have 8 hour version movies of "Pride and Prejudice" (which I will watch gleefully from start to finish) and the Emma Thompson's "Sense and Sensibility" and.er . yes.

Your 8-hour version movies of Pride and Prejudice, are you referring to A&Es version? I love that one... I could watch that all the way through as well.
