Hi my name is Fifi and I'm going to university in the fall, where I am majoring in English Education. I love to read, but I don't read as often I feel I should.

Details, please! What do you love to read, and what would you be reading if you read as often as you feel you should?

I really like Jane Austen, Harry Potter series, and John Green's books, but if it looks remotely interesting I'll give it a shot. And if I read more I would read more of the books I've bought, but never read. My library books are always getting in the way.

I love P&P but Northanger Abbey closely follows it. You can't beat teenage girls with large imaginations picturing vampires living in an abbey and killing your family. |

End it please! Probably doesn't help that I don't like Austen to begin with, and had to read NA for a class that I wanted to love but wound up hating... damn Art prof for a Lit Survey course... mumblegrumblerant |

I dunno if you've read Mansfield Park, but I think that that is the worst of them all. I just... don't even get why it exists. |

I read half of P&P on my own volition, but I couldn't finish it. Then we read Emma in a class my first semester, and that is still the only assigned book that I've never finished (I tried, I really did!). I did read every last word of NA, though! And then I wanted to go on a murderous rampage. |
