SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (Jane Austen) - May 11/12

Argh. I said that I would never not finish a book again, but this stupid one made me break that rule. This reminded me a lot of Jane Eyre, but the book ultimately fares so much worse since it's basically plotless. The unreasonably flowery writing style doesn't help, as I found myself reading whole passages and not understanding a single thing that occurred. I was fairly certain that I was going to finish it anyway and give it zero stars, but there reaches a point at which I was just glazing over page after page without actually comprehending a single thing. If not being able to read this makes me an idiot or a dilettante or whatever, so be it. I read for entertainment and this was like sitting through the worst, most boring movie ever. No rating.
