I haven't read Anthropology of an American Girl yet, either, but I really can't wait to - in fact, I'm thinking I'll probably go ahead and start it, even though I just started A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and am still in the midst of The Fountainhead. Hehe, I'm such an over-achiever, LOL.
Like I said at the beginning of my entry, I don't always flip through a book and read snippets. Sometimes, just reading the back and/or the liner notes is enough.
I'm trying to remember...was Pride and Prejudice the one that I read for the English course when I was homeschooling? I think it was; and I remember enjoying it, but I think I'll have to eventually read it again, just for recreational reading. Even the best books can be harder to enjoy when you HAVE to read them for a class, I've found.
Tolstoy scares me, LOL. At least, from what I've heard about his books. But I'm sure I'll end up reading him eventually, anyways. That's cool that you were able to convince Marcia that Austen was better, hehe. Since you mentioned the U. of C. English thing, I'd bet that Gaby would likely agree with you that Austen is better than Tolstoy, hehe. You'll have to ask her sometime. :)
