Jane vs Ann

So, I've started reading Northanger Abbey, in which the lead character is reading "Udolpho", by Ann Radcliffe.

I'm about ten chapters in, and I can't shake the feeling that the book she's reading is more interesting than the book I'm reading. Thankfully, I work in a library, so I've just borrowed The Mysteries of Udolpho and I'll see what this Radcliffe woman is like.
