Conversation last semester in the bookstore.
Me: You have such...boring books in your house
Kay: They aren't boring
Me: It's like a library of literary classics. You won't find any junk books.
Kay: What do you mean
Me: you know trashy, action filled, comedy...the normal garbage that is so good to read.
Kay: I do to have some good action filled book...The Illiad.
Me: [Pause]
kAY: Fine you pick a book for me to read, and i'll pick one for you.
I picked two Ayn Rand Books, Jennifer Government, and Kurt Vonnegut.
Me: okay now what do you think i should read.
Kay: I'm not going to pick you are going to hate it.
Me: No i'm not really;
Kay: What about Jane Austen
Me: Sure why not
Kay: No you'll probably hate it.
And she was right. I am about to throw Pride and Prejudice out the window. Someone save me from this literary nightmare. I can't even get past page 45 without wanting to stomp on the book. Darcy, Elizabeth, Jane they all bore me, and i am comtemplating picking up a magazine and calling it a night. I can't bear it.
Just needed to complain about how utterly boring this book is. Maybe the movie is better. WHY DIDN'T I SEE THE MOVIE. I have like a million pages to go before i finish. DAMN

i hate jane austen.
it is heresy in my field, but i hate her. not fun trash. just BLAH.
everyone ends up with who they want and they get married at the end.
don't see the movies because they always change shit around and then you get the wrong idea about the book.
if you want some good - i mean actually good - classics, ask me. i won't give you any austen, any bronte, any Homer.
read the last 20 pages and a few random pages in the middle of the book. it'll get the job done.
