I mean it’s Jane Austen. Everyone knows about Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, and those are fantastic novels, but it was really great to read all of Jane Austen. 1100 pages and I only get to count it as one book for Reading to the Rain.

Felt this was worthy of posting, as the new movie has just been released (not bad…not that great though). This is a classic story that regardless of time has universal themes that are always worthy of discussion. Elizabeth Bennett, of an average middle class family, becomes attracted to Mr. Darcy, a well off gentleman of high social standing…as well as a few other relationships that are explored. They do not start off their relationship well, indeed it begins horribly, but Austen writes about finding love even through bumbled words and meetings. But this is also about society and its intricacies and hypocrisies, and the shallowness that lies just beneath the exterior of the TON; A classic read.
