As I mentioned in class today, my mentor from Aquinas, Dr. Chesley, is coping with complaints in his Intro to Fiction class this spring from students who don't enjoy Jane Austen's classic of Regency England.
Most of his students don't like it. Some complain that Austen uses too many big words. Others say she's tedious. One said she doesn't like the book because sometimes the narrator says one thing, but it means something else.
You read P&P for summer reading, on your own, with little instructor guidance (other than the occasional blog post). I want to hear your thoughts - good, bad, or indifferent - on your reading experience and your overall impression of Pride and Prejudice. Is this a book worth reading?
