Honestly, I don’t like any of Jane Austen’s books. I respect her place in the literary world and I understand why her books are so beloved, but they’re all boring to me.

I always feel nervous when telling others I find Austen's works boring.

Like, I admire the legacy of Jane Austen and her works, especially because she died so young and her small number of published novels have carried her legacy on for so long and have appealed to so many.
But the movies/series I watched based on her novels and the novels of hers I've read...for the most part have bored me.
Pride and Prejudice being the one I tried to give a chance to the most, too.

I think like the anon above said, it's because there is a plot in some respect, but it's more that the characters carry the story, and if that style of writing isn't what grabs you, nothing is going to make you like them lol, and that's okay.

I say this as someone who has copies of JA books from 1883 and would probably murder for a first edition of them.
