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.)

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....
