I'm enjoying it, but I think not quite the way the author wants me to -- I'm less interested in the thematic bits (which are hitting me with increasing frequency as I get near the end) than in the bits that tell you things about living in that time and in that place.
A neat example of the latter: Darcy and Bingley (who don't actually play much of a role in the book) come to the Bennet house on horseback. Ignoring whatever paths/roads there may be, they jump the fence into the meadow -- and all the Bennet horses, grazing in that meadow, come over and run with them until they jump the fence out of the meadow on the other side.
Two Christmases ago I got Longbourn as a gift separately from both my mom and my brother. I guess once in a while I'm predictable. :-) I think I've enjoyed it the most of all the P&P profic I've read. (Mind you, I haven't read extensively--one of my earlier samplings was Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife, so the bar is not very high.)
