[SuziQ]

Comes from reading way too much 18th and 19th century writing, where a paragraph easily and often runs over one page.

My eyes start to glaze over if I have to read any Jane Austen or Thomas Hardy. I love listening to someone else read them on audiotape, but I just can't bear to read them myself!

I have trouble with Hardy myself. I love his poetry, but I just can't do his novels.
