Eh, both can be true

Austen's novels are not difficult or boring compared to other books at large. But they are also 18th century basic-ass chick flicks, and those bore me. Reading her prose is not *hard*, but it *is* more effort than I wish to put into experiencing a basic-ass chick flick and I'd venture lots of people agree with that. So you they end up too much effort to read for what they are, and for what you get in return

I'm sure they were novel and different in the 18th century but we don't live there any more

19th century.

Oh yeah, 1800s = 19th century lol. I always get that mixed up

Well, you've certainly convinced us of your intelligence

Ah yes my intelligence is in doubt because I made a common error, corrected myself, and don't care for the same books as you do

C'mon, we can do better than this

At least I addressed the point, unlike most other people here. Austen isn't hard, it's just not worth it when similar storylines and humor can be found in easier, effortless material - if you are into that sort of thing

also 18th century basic-ass chick flicks

Enjoy Austen, don't enjoy Austen, I don't care, but that's patronising bollocks.
