Usually I would agree with you about that. However, it is almost blasphemy to say you don't like P&P! LOL It is one of the very (and I mean VERY) few classics that is actually a good book. Most of the time I get so bogged down trying to translate what they are saying, that I lose interest. I don't like books that are overflowing with detail, either. Like instead of saying, "He walked through wet grass in the morning.", some of them drag it out into, " In the early hours of the breaking dawn, he wanderend aimlessly through a sea of dewey green. The ocean of grass stood before him and sparkled like emeralds. The wild blades, long untended by men, reached up and moistened the bottom of his pantaloons.". Ahhhhh! GET ON WITH IT! Sorry, I'm rambling.


Thanks, Karen! I think maybe I'll write a book with nothing but loooong descriptions about random things. I'm sure someone will love it!


So glad you liked it! Probably helped that there wasn't a ton of hype about it, huh?


The Host is a really good book, too... Wonder when the movie will be coming out? LOL


By the way, you never told me how you felt about the human/slug love story going on in the book. Did you think it was gross or were you ok with it?

I felt so bad for her because she was sooo nonviolent! I kept wanting to shake her and yell, "Whack that guy with a club! He's gonna kill you, for God's sake!".
I just started this book. I will post more thoughts once I've gotten farther into the book.
