This time, for my re-read of Pride and Prejudice I also read all the critical essays in the back of my Norton Critical Edition. Pretty ok, one is heavily reliant on Freudian theory, however, which was probably outdated at the time of the essay’s writing and has aged even less well since then.
About Pride and Prejudice itself there is little to add to to my previous five-star ratings except that this time I paid attention to all Mrs. Gardiner’s sections and that lady is pretty perceptive.

Strangely enough, I never added P&P to my Goodreads. A lamentable oversight since it is one of my favorite books. Ever.
As Kathleen Kelly says, "I am always in agony as to whether Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy will finally get together. Read it. I know you'll love it." ...more

I don't know why it took me so long to read this book since I have read most of Jane Austen's other books and I am a big fan of the BBC series, but I decided to finally read it on the 200th anniversary of the publication. Love it.

probably the best book ever written. This is my desert island pick, hands down. Read it over and over and love it more every time.
Five stars for Juliet Stevenson, outstanding narration.
Three stars for abridgement: 3 discs, only really? This is Pride and Prejudice, yo, Juliet can read the whole darn thing, in my opinion.
