think after reading this I can satisfy myself that Jane Austen also falls into the category of "not my thing". I can certainly see how other people, people who are not me, can really dig it, but it leaves me cold. Zombies were the only thing that could have gotten me to read it at all.
Thanks for the warning. I was close to buying it, for the same reason you did - zombies are the only thing that could get me to read Austen. Actually, I've tried to read Austen, tried to watch Austen and only managed to get through one story in either medium without being totally bored - Emma aka "what the movie Clueless was based on. So I'll not bother with that. P&P was one of the books I tried so many times and just couldn't force myself through, without the hint of zombies.
