Pride and Prejudice ... it's up there with Wuthering Heights as one of those books where people assure me I'll love it and I end up ... not loving it, and in the case of those two books, not even coming close to finishing it. Perhaps it's because I find it almost impossible to empathise with any of the characters...
As for the Keira Knightley version ... I watched it, failed AGAIN to empathise, and spent most of the time peering at her onscreen and going 'gosh, she's funny looking ...'
But then I am a heathen, totally bereft of culture :P
And cos I never remembered to comment on the album post you made; LAVA FLOOR FTW. We used to pretend it was a swamp, too. And that there were pirhana. Sometimes in the swamp, sometimes in the lava. They were pretty tough pirhana ...
