Kemper now:
Jumping in here to also thank the Frood of Fiji.  I finished the play,
'Look Back in Anger'.  Quite an angry, harsh story.  What was the
social climate of the time?  I just started Great Apes, but it hasn't
grabbed as much as LBiA though I'll still give it a go.  I heard
someone say that they give every book 100 pages.  If by page 101 you
are still laboring over the read, then quit reading and burn it. 
However, as I got Great Apes from the library, I think I will just
return it after reading the hundredth or last page.

Kemper now:
I haven't read Emma or any other Austen books.  However, I've seen
Emma, Sense and Sensibilities, and Pride and Prejudice several times
each.  I've even seen one in play form... though I couldn't tell you
which one as they all seem alike to me.  

Don't hate.
