Oh Mr. Darcy . . .

I can absolutely see your appeal.  I finished Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and can say, with absolute certainty, that it is my favorite Jane Austen book.  I can't even answer why it is so appealing, but I could not put it down and I even know how it ends.  Mr. Darcy is not even that likable of a character for the first 2/3 of the book, but you root for him anyway!  That, my friends, is a good author.  I was impressed- Ms. Austen has won me over.  So much so that I'm reading Sense and Sensibility right now- you know, just for fun.
