Jane Austen Survey

First of all, what is your general attitude toward the world of Austen?

• I'm in love with it! The books, the movies, the characters, the settings... I just can't get enough!
• I think Austen is overrated. It's good, but not great. There are way better romances out there.
• I don't like it at all. I've tried to read the books or get in to the movies, but I just don't get it. They're horrible!
• I have no opinion. I haven't read any of the books or seen any of the movies, and therefore haven't a clue what this is all about.
• I like it well enough, but I'm not a fangirl about it.
