Pride and Predjudice by Jane Austen

I liked this one pretty much.  Got a little tedious but it may have just been me.  I am not sure if I really liked all the characters but that is to be expected I guess.  It was kind of funny how Elizabeth did not see Darcy's interest in her.  I cannot imagine being that blind but oh well.  All in all it was a pretty good read.  I don't know that it was the most astounding book I have ever read.  It made me chuckle a bit but did not stir any real deep emotions. 
I know, I know.  I am some sort of evil person for not just absolutely falling all over myself over Jane Austen and her books.  Hmmmmm....it was okay but I have a serious dislike for weak women who MUST rely on men for their happiness and survival.  I know that was the way of things for so many years and truthfully, I do know some women who still believe that but it makes me crazy.  I just cannot stand putting so much time into a book where the woman fawns and whines and carries on over a man who treats her like she is an empty-headed bumpkin.
This particular book did have a few moments in it that gave me a giggle or two.  So all in all, it was worth the read.
