Now Reading: Pride and Prejudice

I decided to go ahead and get the book (Pride and Prejudice) now while the movie is still fresh in my mind. However, it's the first Jane Austen book I have read and I am finding I have to read it slowly. And sometimes, re-read a sentence or two.

I like it, though! I find myself laughing in certain places that weren't as amusing in the movie.

And I love the opening quote...

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters."

I think my next book will be First Impressions, which asks and answers the question of what would have happened if Darcy had never said such unkind words about Elizabeth and instead, Darcy and Elizabeth had danced together.



Anyone want to read it with me? Sounds interesting, doesn't it? After First Impressions, I think I will read Mr. Darcy's Little Sister , based on Kelly Yanke Deltener's review.



Which one are you reading?
