pride and prejudice, part III

I'm working my way through this book, and more often than not, I end up falling asleep on Elizabeth Bennet and company. Again, I say that I don't think that 19th Century English women are my cup of tea. (Rather, something piqued my interest the other day: a sci-fi series called Old Man's War.)

I got past the part where Darcy professes his love for her and explains why Wickham is so bad and why Jane doesn't deserve Bingham. So, I guess I'm headed to the third act where Darcy eventually wins over Elizabeth, they fall in love, and get married, which I seem to gather is the point of the book.

If only there were a way to make the story more interesting... perhaps by adding zombies and making Elizabeth a zombie hunter...
