i learned quite a few things while reading this. one is that i would gladly shoot caroline bingley without a second thought. the next is that darcy is and will always be a million times better that bingley.

Emozionante. Travolgente. Incantevole. Ironico.
Sono tanti gli aggettivi con cui si potrebbe descrivere questo libro eppure non sembrano essere mai sufficienti.
L'ho letto a 12 anni per la prima volta: portavo ancora l'apparecchio, degli occhiali dalla dubbia decente e mi stavo appena affacciando ai classici della letteratura (con in sottofondo le critiche di tutti che mi dicevano essere troppo piccola).
Uscivo da un mondo fatto di magie, incantesimi, stranezze e favole incantate.
Da JK Rowling e Collodi, o ancora Roal Dahl mi ritrovai in un mondo fatto di balli, parole altisonanti e etichette.
Inutile dire che lessi il libro in una settimana, conquistata e rapita dalla scrittura della Austen.
Per anni ho cercato un libro che potesse sostituirlo o, quanto meno eguagliarlo, invano.
E per anni ho evitato di rileggere anche solo una frase per paura che di far svanire l`incantesimo.
A 17 anni mi sono decisa: avrei riletto Orgoglio e Pregiudizio.
Con un pizzico di titubanza e paura ho aperto la prima pagina e improvvisamente eccomi catapultata nuovamente in quel mondo, fatto di orli, pizzi, proposte e tanto amore. Ma anche indipendenza e rispetto.
Infinito, ecco come definirei questo libro.
Infinito ed eterno nella sua intramontabile bellezza.

Inutile dire che รจ diventato il mio libro preferito a 12 anni e adesso, a distanza di anni, conserva ancora il suo posto d'onore.

I had started reading Pride and Prejudice on two previous occasions and got bogged down and gave up, but this time I flew right through it. I can honestly say that I enjoyed reading the book and the language is quite charming and it makes you wish that people talked like that these days.

Starting this year, I'm not going to rate books anymore or give it "stars" cause I can never accurately quantify how I felt about a book. However if I hate it I'll give it one star, and if I loved it I'll give it five. Books in the middle are hard for me to rate.

My first Jane Austen and I really enjoyed it. I always avoided more of the "classics" because I thought it would be difficult to read or I wouldn't enjoy it but that was not the case. Though I already knew the story and how it would end, I thought it was really well written, and enjoyed all the characters, especially Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth and Mr. Bennet.
