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!

It was only until I picked it up again when I was 15 that I really got into it and enjoyed it. I think it's just one of those books that you have to be at a certain stage to read. Give it a while and then pick it up again and you may be able to make more progress with it! (less)
