...To Read Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice? - Sorry, I ran out of room in the title bar.
I read this book recently because everyone I know who has read it has loved it. I don't get it. I thought the characters in it were stupid and shallow and I thought the story was a torturous, boring read. It was almost as difficult for me to get through it as Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.
Contrary to what many "experts" say, I am someone on the spectrum who loves to read fiction and I totally get into it and very deeply into it understanding motives and character development and getting great visuals and the whole nine yards. I even write pretty well. I know that when I took the AQ quiz, those were some of the questions I answered in what they considered a non AS typical fashion.
But I was wondering if I am the only one who would rather have a root canal than have to read Pride & Prejudice again.
Couldn't stand it, not one bit. The writing style made me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon just to get away from it. I could only read the first 30 pages or so. I admit I'm very picky about writing styles and what I can read.
