i'd give that an A.
i love Austen's plots, i just prefer to watch them. and that is a horrible horrible thing to say, but unbelievably true.
Tyler:
How about read aloud with a British accent?
Lines:
ooo. anytime.
Narr:
There's actually quite a lot of 19th century British novels that are a LOT better if they are read aloud and with a British accent.
I also discovered Shakespeare is also quite a lot better when you read it with a British accent. It's easier to get through, at least to me. I suppose that's because, you know, it was written to be acted in English, hence, use an English accent.
Lines:
shakespeare is just better when read aloud in any accent. when i'd have to read it for class, a few of us would just get together and read aloud, because it's more fun that way.
i can't remember many books i've read that i didn't like, even if we had to read them for school. the only one i really remember as being a bit of a pain was The Bluest Eye, only for the fact that parts of it were increddibly messed up. not to bash toni morrison's work, though, because she is a good writer.
