I tried to and it's unbearable.

/lit/ users called me a pleb because Jane Austen is supposedly seen as a 'pleb-filterer' by Anglo imbeciles whose brains would self-destroy after three pages into the Georgics, but I did even somewhat enjoy Northanger Abbey, although it's a mediocre novel - at least some of its pages dwell on meta-literature and architecture, which are things that interest me, even though Austen doesn't have anything new to say about them; P&P, on the other hand, deals only with marriage questions which can be of interest for nobody except young women, though I can't say whether or not it becomes better after page 56, because that's where I stopped. I still will finish reading it someday, because I do not like leaving books unread, but this will be only I after finish other books, that are actually worthy reading, such as the one mentioned by OP (of which I already own the best edition in existence - beautiful and recommended).
