June Book of the Month - Pride and Prejudice

[Lucille]

Pride and Prejudice has charmed generations of readers for more than two centuries. Jane Austen's much-adapted novel is famed for its witty, spirited heroine, sensational romances, and deft remarks on the triumphs and pitfalls of social convention. Author Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose works of social realism achieved unprecedented critical and popular success, though Austen herself remained an anonymous writer throughout her life.

How do you feel about this book so far? I haven't started it yet, but I wish to finish the book I'm currently reading before starting a new one.

Maybe you have already read it. What did you think of it?

So, Pride and Prejudice was pretty good. It's a classic for a reason, you know? Just a nice, enjoyable read about people figuring things out and finding their way.

I liked Pride and Prejudice. It was clearly a well written classic.

I am about 1/3 of the way through the book, and so far, it has its moments where it picks up pace. However, the fact that most chapters introduce more and more characters is throwing me off the groove, so reading has been going a bit slowly.

Totally get that. I usually have to stop because of the old way they speak. It takes me a minute to digest and figure out what they’re actually saying. I really can’t speak poetry well. Lol

Just today read the (view spoiler)[big love revelation from Mr Darcy (hide spoiler)], let me tell you, my jaw was hanging open in shock (some people on the bus probably thought that i was crazy) and now i cant wait til work shift ends so i can continue reading what happens.
