All I know about Jane Austen is that reading her books in HS English class was torture.

You, like myself, were looking at them thru the eyes of a bored teenager. I recently read Pride & Predjudice, and enjoyed it thoroughly. 40 years can make a world of difference in one’s outlook.............

What I MOST hated, and still do, was the REQUIRED reading of Catcher in the Rye..................

Heh. Never made it all the way through an Austen book. Kept putting me into a coma. God Bless Cliff's Notes ... got me through AP English.

I've heard the Austen zombie books are actually pretty good though ...

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies;

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters;

Android Karenina (not Austen, but close enough)

Austen is definitely a matter of taste. Some swear by her, others swear at her. I’m on your side. Torture!

It got better when they added zombies. Not a whole lot better, but everything is better with zombies.
