One of my many weaknesses is this: I can't read/watch/hear a story without it totally consuming me. Pride and Prejudice was no exception. I think it's been forever since I've read a book for fun, and have never read P and P, nor have I seen the movie or TV series. So every aspect of the plot was a surprise. Though it's not difficult to make me cry, Austin's story won my heart and badge of tears.
I finished it yesterday and now feel like I'm home from vacation. How did I handle the real world? I downloaded another Jane Austin novel...Persuasion. I did discover that Austin died before the book was published and her brother named the novel. So no one knows what she intended to name it. She just called the story "The Elliot's."
Though Jane Austin novels are classic, I admit I only found them because they were listed with the books that could be downloaded for free.
