it was hard for me to think of Darcy and Elizabeth as overt sexual beings. The novel takes place right after their marriage so I can see why the idea of sex would be important to the two of them, but when it came time to actually read the scene, I couldn't do it. It was so... purple.Ahahahaha! Purple. :D I was loaned a copy of Pride and Prescience and I couldn't bring myself to open it. There's something a little off about reading a story that the master, herself, did not pen. I don't know... maybe it's brilliant and I missed out. I'm sure someone will eventually tell me if it's worth it

'sokay :) Sometimes LJ just doesn't want to work with ya.
I agree with you, it is hard to read something that the master didn't pen. Although I have read Pride and Prejudice stories that weren't written by Austen and they were good, but they were no Austen, you know? I will admit to really wanting to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, though, because uh... hello? Zombies? And Pride and Prejudice? Sign me up!
Every girls seemed to work for a fashion house or fashion magazine and worry about high heel shoes and have serious problems dating a guy without descending into a sappy, emotional wreck. OR, she was a smoking, drinking, partying with her gay friends Bridget Jones kind of girl, and while that sounds more interesting, many of those stories did NOT pull it off, and I ended up hating her.Oh yeah, I definitely relate. That's what I was talking about, like all books *geared* toward women have those lackluster main characters that only worry about men and how to get a man or how to not care if you don't have a man... none of them
