I'm glad that they're sending me something I think I can get into—I've never managed to watch one of the adaptations without giving up in frustration, let alone read any Austen.
I know enough about them to get jokes (and love Fforde), but just can't be bothered to read. But then I'm like that with a lot of 'classics', there's so much good stuff being published now that catching up with stuff I 'ought' to have read seems at times to be pointless.
