Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
5.0
I have loved Pride and Prejudice for many years in all its cinematic forms, especially Joe Wrights 2005 adaption. I often listen to the piece of music "your hands are cold" from the soundtrack. It is so beautiful and inspiring.
But regrettably, I had never read Austen's classic until this year. Execting a chore of poetic prose that would take me hours to decipher, I had put it off. Also, I knew the ending, which I always thought would ruin a book.
How wrong was I! I was overjoyed, with the help of my Kindle's dictionary I couldn't put it down, I loved the language.
My favorite word from the book is "Felicity" and now refuse to say I am happy ever again.
