I'm a fan of Jane Austen, so I'm not sure why I wouldn't. XD What really bothers me though, is in this introduction, they talk of Miss Crawford as being what the heroine of the novel ought to be like - or she fits the mold and Fanny does not. I have yet to see how they figured that one out. Mary bothers me to no end!   I guess that's why Fanny is the heroine.  ^^ She bugs me too. Just ignore the intro and make what you want to out of it. It's the best way. I never read introductions the first time around, not even to LotR. _________________

I did indeed ignore the intro. I know all these stories, so I was just curious what's being put forth to be considered. I still can't see how they came up with Mary being this fabulous creature.
Anyway, I'm now reading "Sense & Sensibility" by Jane Austen. (There may be a pattern forming here ) _________________ "So what? So plenty!"

^ It's quite all right. My brother bought me the complete works for Christmas last year so I'll be making the rounds of all of them in a month or so.

The Fellowship of the Ring, The Hobbit, the Silmarillion, the Two Towers, and The Return of the King, kind of all at once... how classic. ^^
