It's been a month! I blame Emma. Jane Austen's Emma, that is.
The classics have never really been my scene. For some reason, particularly if I'm not familiar with the story by way of a film adaption, I just can't picture their world, or the characters themselves. i can't care enough about them to get into the book.
Persuasion, Little Women, The Picture of Dorian Gray - none of them did it for me. Little Women and Pride and Prejudice I have since overcome post film, the others I haven't given that chance.
Anyhoo, I came across a copy of Emma and decided to see if I had grown up. I thought that matching up the characters to Clueless may help to:
A) get me through the book; and
B) keep me amused.
Apparently not.
Should I persevere? Is it worth it? Should I get a copy of a film version and watch it first? It is just crap and I will resent spending more time on it?
Help me dear readers.
