That's what I want: Recognition

My favorite bit from Pride and Prejudice:

Jane heard them with horror. "A gamester!" she cried. "This is wholly unexpected. I had not an idea of it."

(Not quite finished. It stopped being funny for a while, but it's getting there again--I'm just up to Lizzy's confrontation with Lady Catherine de Bourgh, which is very funny indeed.)

"Lizzy's confrontation with Lady Catherine de Bourgh,"

That's the best part.

Then, on to Emma!

Actually, no--now it's on to Frankenstein. (Almost done.) Next I'll re-read John Kessel's crossover fanfic literary homage to the two, "Pride and Prometheus".

Then I'm going to finish Wilde's plays, and then I think it's on to Dickens--I'm leaning to A Tale of Two Cities, though several people have suggested I would find Bleak House very rewarding....
