I once watched a movie of this book. That was my only association with it at all. I'd not talked about it with anyone, and I really wanted to like it. I love humor and comedy and though there was some imbedded in the pages of the book, it was also clouded by some dense and (to me) archaic English.

I finished Pride and Prejudice for my Dead Writers' Society Literary Birthday challenge author for December, Jane Austen. I feel like I know exactly what I'm going to get with Austen, knowing her novels so well without even having read many of them. And I mean that in a positive way: great comfort comes with reading Austen's novels, knowing that everything is going to work out in the end….

One thing I did not like about this novel was the cartoonishness of pretty much everyone but Elizabeth, Darc ...more

I had read Sense and Sensibility many years ago and now I have read Pride and Prejudice. I just love the sarcastic comments of Mr. Bennet. It was definitely a great read.
