I have not read a single thing of hers I've liked. And I've tried, either through school or just forcing myself to read it because it was a classic. I just am not interested in the genre, in her characters, or in her writing style.

And you know, that's fine, but I've always thought it odd when people who dislike X make a point of posting in a thread that's meant to generate discussion among fans of X.

The thread didn't specify it was about liking her, it just said it was a Jane Austin discussion thread.

Okay, thanks for contributing.

Normally I would actually agree, but in fairness, this wasn't posed as a "gush" thread. Plus, Philstar22's post was way less trolly than the "lol I hate that book/show/movie" responses you see in ones more obviously for fans.

NAYRT I see your point but I too wondered why someone who not only didn't like Austen but didn't like the genre as a whole would bother to weigh in. I don't see the point of bird watching and it sounds very boring to me, but you'd never see me posting to a thread about bird watching saying that! I'm sure bird watchers are well aware that not everyone loves their hobby, so I wouldn't really be bringing anything to the discussion.

Same. I liked some of the movies, so I started reading her stuff while totally expecting to like it, but it just didn't click with me.
