But I read all of Jane Austen."

Too true! Some classics are amazing and some you just struggle through. At least for me, its a real love or hate situation lol.

I've only read 8!
But I have a few of them pulled out that I am planning on reading in the next week, so I'll be up to 11 read out of the 50 soon!
