Sadie asked this question about Pride and Prejudice:
How do I understand the language in Pride and Prejudice? I'm 13 and we haven't studied it in school but I would like to read it for fun but I can't understand even the first page! Can someone please help me out!

I'm a 12 year old who decided to see what all the fuss about this book was, and this is a great, wonderful book and all, there's a lot of subtle humor.
