It may have something to do with a certain character with whom I share my name. I've heard she's kind of a twit. Lol.
Maybe I should make it my goal to finally read P&P this year.

I've found, and this may be just me, I can't just dive into books from that time. I need to read a good (though not necessarily like a literary masterpiece) new historical book first. Or any other newer book that is heavy on descriptions. I've found that it helps me a lot when it comes to reading those. Even so, Pride and Prejudice is one I just have to make myself start and keep reading, I just have so much trouble getting into it at first.
