Reading my first Jane Austen novel...

Well, listening to it during my drive time here in California, I realize why I've never finished a Jane Austen book. I've been listening to Sense and Sensibility.

I want to strangle Marianne and her mother. And all the talk of a gentleman being ancient at 35, it's easy to see that the author was young herself to think of that age as being in one's dotage even given the lifespan for the era and while I'm offing people, can I shoot Willoughby? He's a total twit! How can anyone consider him a romantic hero?
