Pride & Prejudice
I know that I have been neglecting this blog this past week. My reason for it is due to Pride & Prejudice. I have never read this book or seen the movie before. Of course I've heard of it. My mother bought me all of Jane Austin's books for Christmas and I decided I must finally read Pride & Prejudice. I've heard so much about it and how much everyone enjoys it.
There has not been a book since Twilight that I have obsessed over so much. I couldn't put it down and every spare moment that I had I devoted to reading this book. I felt a little inferior reading this. They spoke so different back then. There were many times I had to re-read sentences to understand what they were saying. I also felt as though I needed a dictionary to look up the true meaning of the words.
Do you ever feel bad upon finishing a book because you don't want it to end? That's how I felt about this book and I wanted to watch every movie made about it. I just finished the BBC version. Not the best acting but it was made in 1980 and it was very much to the book.
I recommend if you haven't read it go read it!
