I avoided reading _Pride & Prejudice_ for yonks, and when I finally did, discovered that, in fact, everyone is right and it *is* all that and a bag of chips. (And, also, extremely funny.)
This is more or less my relationship to Eliot's Middlemarch, which I dutifully read for my Comps as an undergrad... and hated. HATED. HATED.
So, y'know, I'm no longer 21, and I wonder periodically if I oughtn't to read it again, since everyone else in the world seems to think Middlemarch the cat's pajamas. But, then again, life is short. ;p
