Is P&P worth it?

I personally had a rough time with P&P, not because it was too hard or Austen used "Big words". I just simply didn't like the plot..because...well...I'm a guy. I will say that the lessons are good ones and I understand what Austen is trying to say. The main problem is that people don't really Read anymore. Sure, you read your email or text but that's not the same. There is a gap between Dr. Chesley and his students. He wanted to understand or at least worked at understanding Austen. His students are in college! They should be excited to learn (especially since they are paying to be there!) I believe that Pride and Prejudice is worth the effort; most just are not willing to put forth the effort to try.
