Me luv gurly book

I downloaded a copy of Pride and Prejudice, am about a 5th of the way through, and am loving it. As I've said about other stuff before, I already didn't read Austin or the Bronte's when I was young, so what was going to make me do so now that I was too proud to admit I hadn't and too prejudiced against girly books to dive in? (Love me for my candor. Please.) The answer is the absurd Mr. Mybug in Stella Gibbons' Cold Comfort Farm.
