I don't know. Maybe you found it that simple, but I love her style of writing and the whole story plot was really sweet and romantic. (And yes okay I like this kind of classic romance novel where it's not all smurfitty-smurf-smurf!) The characters were beautifully defined; hell, y'think people'd be piping on about the perfection of Mr Darcy two centuries after it was written!? I just love the way it spans out, and the twists in the plot -- Elizabeth and Mr Darcy <3

Ah Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion. Hope you don't think I'm being an Austen missionary of sorts and tryin' to convert you or nuffink. Just ranting about a book I love.

Back to Catcher in the Rye.

I dunno, did anyone else find the image Holden had of being the catcher in the rye one of the most fantastic things ever? Because I was obsessed with the idea of being the said catcher in the rye for ages and ages. It just seemed so ideal and perfect and AWAY from it all, which probably exactly what he wanted. Bejesus, no society to wallow in. Just rye rye rye!
