  • What is there to say about Pride and Prejudice? No one should be without this book on their shelf at home.

  • What can I say? I love Liz - strong, knowledgable, and bold.

    Or maybe I'm looking for Mr. Darcy too!

    This book was recommened to me by Susanna T., an international student from Sweden as one of her favorite books. I haven't read a "classic" in so long I was a little bit skeptical about reading it. I bouth the book about a month or so ago and hadn't had a chance to start it and then my class started and I didn't hae time to read, so I picked up the unabridged audio version.I ended up enjoyinging it. I think it ended up being a good discussion book for the summer. We'll see how the others like it, if they readt. I know that I would never want to live during that time period for the pure fact that women are discriminated against at such a high level.Questions1. How would you describe the Bennett family? Normal? Disfunctional?2. Would you have wanted to live during that time? Why or why not?3. I am not sure that I would have liked living during that time period, as a woman you couldn't really do as you choosed only as your husband or family chose. How would you feel about this? Would you want to stay at home to entertain? What if you were part of a lower class and had to actually work?

  • It's not that it's the greatest story ever written, but I've always enjoyed it. Even after several rereadings, I still take comfort in this book.

From its opening sentence, Jane Austen's most famous novel envelops us in the delightful world of the Bennets. The ill-matched Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Charles Bingley and his sisters, and the fatuous Mr. Collins provide fine examples of Austen's artistry, and while entertaining, this novel is also a lesson on the follies of "pride" and "prejudice."
