Reading this one slowly and thoroughly. It's a treasure trove of information I could have used six months ago! I can't wait to incorporate some of the material on gender and ritual into my own analysis.

I am at a complete loss trying to understand why this book has been rated so highly. James has done nothing but deliver wooden characters and entire passages of text cribbed from the original P&P. I'm having a hell of a time trying to force myself on and will probably give it up now.

For once I cannot make myself finish a Trollope novel.

This is great so far. Though the title and premise sound a bit cheesy, the book and the research behind it are compelling.

Wow! This book is turning out to be wonderful! A student recommended it to me and I began it somewhat reluctantly however the thoughtful characters and concise yet poetic writing have captured me!

This one has been reaaaaallly hard to get into. I'm going to give it another two chapters and ditch it if it doesn't improve.

This book is a bit difficult to get through as there are many typos and the writing leaves much to be desired. However, I'm pressing on as I'm a bit obsessed with N. Korea and love to read just about anything about that country!

Ugh....this is almost painful to try to get through. I may have to give up on this one.

Daaaaaamn, I love Alice Paul and this biography is hard to put down!
