I didn't think WH was all that great, but I actually did manage to finish it. That's more than I can say for any of Austen's books, which I couldn't get more than one or two chapters into before I gave up. Talk about dull. I guess the witty parts were further in the back.

Nope. They're everywhere, especially in the observations about human nature, but they're not all in your face hair-tearingly obvious.

Except in the opening of Northanger Abbey, which hits you with the satire pretty openly:

"Her mother was a woman of useful plain sense, with a good temper, and, what is more remarkable, with a good constitution. She had three sons before Catherine was born; and instead of dying in bringing the latter into the world, as anybody might expect, she still lived on—lived to have six children more—to see them growing up around her, and to enjoy excellent health herself."

I love Northanger Abbey. Catherine and Henry are my favorite Austen couple.

...well, that might be why I have so much trouble with Austen. I tend to read literally. Very literally. (Autism thing. I have a deep loathing for people who post satire articles on places like ontd_p or FB without mentioning it's fucking satire. Sigh.)

[i_paint_the_sky]

Yeah, that would make sense. Almost all of Austen's humour is very tongue-in-cheek (I'm pretty sure the opening line of P&P is an example of this).
