Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice

by Jane Austen

Elizabeth Bennet is at first determined to dislike Mr. Darcy, who is handsome and eligible. This misjudgment only matched in folly by Darcy's arrogant pride. Their first impressions give way to truer feelings in a comedy concerned with happiness and how it might be achieved.

Took me an entire year to finish Pride and Prejudice. I read a fifth of the book before taking a break from it. Whenever I looked at it on my bedside table, I felt nearly anxious about casting it aside, even though I had been bored stiff. Thanks to the audiobook, however, I did manage to finish it. Surprisingly, I came to like quite a few things. Can't say I loved it but I didn't end up hating it as I thought I might when I restarted it a few days ago.
