Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

[Drunk Monk]

To be fair, I am unduly hard on Austen. It's a marital thing. Stacy disses my Kung Fu flicks; I diss Austen. In truth, I have tremendous respect for her writing style. No one can string together such a sentence as she, so eloquent, proper and precise. I'm in awe of her grammatical command. 

But sometimes I don't make it to the end of her loquaciously constructed sentences before nodding off. Austen wouldn't make in the age of tweets and memes.
