Mi primer libro de Jane Austen y que me hizo enamorarme de ella y hacer que quisiera comprarme todos sus libros. Sin duda, un libro muy entretenido y divertido.

This was the first "classic" I read this year. I have this goal to start working on those literary "masterpieces" that every good bibliophile should have read. I say that with sarcasm, because I am abnormal in the bookworm world in that I don't believe age or acclaim makes a book good. I think it makes it popular, which is completely different. Classics are, in my humble opinion, merely books that are popular with people in literary power.
I will admit that I wasn't amazed by this book, and it wasn't my favorite ever. It was one of those where I didn't personally enjoy the style of writing but I appreciated the story. I can easily understand why people fall in love with it and why it has a cult-ish following. I would probably be in that category if I enjoyed the older, formal style I would be apart of that following. However, I do not so I'm merely a fan. I do feel like I am better for having read it, which is ultimately the most you can ask from a book I think.
The thing I enjoyed most about this book is that it wasn't mushy. I'm just not a mushy person. I appreciated that the relationships in it were confusing and sometimes ended before becoming firm. It's more realistic. I'm not saying that the courtship rituals and ways relationships came about, or what constituted a good relationship were things I understood or respected. I'm just saying that I think everyone one was very clear about what was it they expected from a marriage (and the role society played in that), and things didn't always go smoothly. It was realistic in that sense I thought, and I appreciated it.

I can't believe it took me so long to finally read this book. I've tried to read it many times over the last 20-25 years and I finally did it and LOVED it!
