Really? Persuasion is my least favorite Austen. I just... ugh, just wanted to smack her (both protagonist and author Her) upside the head.
I refuse to watch the new Pride and Prejudice, because... just because bleh. But then my problem with the '90s BBC version is that the actress playing Elizabeth is soooo much prettier than the one portraying Jane — which wouldn't matter in any plot that didn't so continually emphasize how much prettier Jane is supposed to be to compensate for her blandness. Aaaarhghghgh.
