Persuasion by Jane Austen

This book is, supposedly, Jane Austen's best book.  I read about three fourths of the the way through it and just couldn't go any further.  I have started four different Jane Austen books and have only been able to finish one of them, Pride and Prejudice.  I think my problem is that I have a hard time relating to the type of culture that Jane Austen writes about.  I think if I had been born into that society, I would have ended up like Catherine from Wuthering Heights, half savage.

I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice because Elizabeth Bennet is the most down-to-earth character in Jane Austen's books.  It will interesting to see what my girls think when they are old enough to read Jane Austen.
