Emma by Jane Austen
Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.

I loved Pride & Prejudice, and I thought I would love this as well because of that reason, and also because I (shamelessly) love Clueless, which is an adaptation of this. Unfortunately, I didn't - I liked Emma at first because she seemed very fiery and had a lot of sass which is hilarious based on the time period, but I got to this point and realized I really didn't care what happened to any of the characters.
