The books, maybe... the actuality, probably not. There was still a lot of backstabbing and actual duels and whatnot, besides poor hygiene; enough to keep me from the actuality!
There were no Paris Hilton's as such in the book, but there were hints of that type of character, who had nothing but money to back up their place in society...
I'd say I guess I'm happier here, where I have a good view as well as hot and cold running water.

You mean where a girl's entire life and worth revolves around who she's going to marry? No thanks.
And LJ K's right; Austen's books are only about a certain class. It wasn't like that for everybody at the time she was writing.

Did you completely miss the character of Lydia?
I think it'd be nice to be driven around in a curricle, though.
