"She is tolerable, I suppose..."
From Alison.
I've read all but one of Jane Austen's books - Northanger Abbey. I've been saving that one forever, because once I read it, there will be no more Austen left for me to read. And that, dear readers, would be a tragedy.
Having read all but one book, I have to say that the quiz is easily manipulated. You could be any heroine you wanted if you thought too hard about your answers. I tried to answer honestly, and I got my favorite heroine. The General gave me a copy of Pride and Prejudice when I was eleven years old and at the end of my juvenile library. I was almost instantly swallowed by the book and have made it a point to read it once a year, every year since. I also watch the A&E version (with Colin Firth! YUM!) while I'm folding laundry.
Extra points to anyone who can give me the context for the title of this post.

Mr. Darcy to Mr. Bingley at the dance where they are first introduced to the Bennett ladies. "She is tolerable I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me".
