The Austen Project: Tardiness and Neglect

Chapters 4-19 (Book the First)
More girl talk, your parents hate each other, someone catches a cold and someone else gets muddy, my God but those rich girls are mean…

Oh for feck’s sake. I know. This was supposed to be a 30 day project and I’m topping off two months at this point. But, pardon my French, but this merde is hard.

I get it. It’s hilarious. It’s just so hard for me to care. Mr. Crumbley is so affable but won’t marry Corelsibeth for some mysterious reason, while Schmamy has made a suitable match with the wealthy but horrible Mr. Blangitty Blang, and if Jane was a modern girl she would have developed an eating disorder like the rest of us.

I’m not going to let the book win, though. Likely I will skim some of it and lie about it, because, I mean, look at the title of the blog.

Gonna get right to it right after I finish the jam-packed and very relate-able Super Sad True Love Story. Gary Shteyngart is doing to me here what Chris Farley did to me as a child. Namely: convince me that all attractive women should marry physically repulsive but hilarious men, who will appreciate them much more than those boring hotties ever could. Let’s go, ladies!
