"Pride and Prejudice" is a classic, and I found it easier to read than "Emma" since I am more familiar with the story due to the popularity of modern adaptations. I laughed out loud when reading the dialog between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet in the opening chapter of the book. There were still some parts I found slow, dull, or difficult to follow, especially since the language and use of words differs from today. I feel I would prefer to watch a video adaptation so that I can pick up on non-verbal / social / contextual cues that are difficult to parse in the text. Even so, I enjoyed reading this classic novel.
