This is for discussion of our January group read of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen to begin Jan. 20. I will keep this thread open in case anyone wants to start early.

Happy Reading

My audio book has arrived at the library! This, of course, will be a re-read for me but I will enjoy spending some time with Elizabeth and Darcy.

It’s a reread for me, too. I probably need it now. It’s a wonderful book.

Finished the audio book yesterday ... but haven't written /updated my review yet.

I'd forgotten some of the details. The BBC adaptation mini-series is just stuck in my mind and I forget how it differed in places.

I just love the way Austen writes these relationships. And her dialogue is wonderful!

Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen – 4****
One of the best opening lines of literature: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” It's no wonder this is a classic. Austen is simply the master of dialogue. The way in which the characters interact brings them to life.
