Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen


This is one of my most challenging books to get into. I'm generally not a period person, or whatever you want to call older english language writing. It's just difficult. I know I'm not the only one out there. However, sometimes I can just take off with a period book. When I read North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell I couldn't put it down. So, after being in an "Un-Official Jane Austen Book Club" and by being a huge fan of the movies, it is time. I highly recommend you at least give it a try, this may be the period book for you. Guys, yes, it's a chick book. But it's THE chick book. Take a peek into this and you may take a peek into pop culture and why women believe in romantic fantasies. It has secrets... Naw' I'm just kidding but it's a classic. Go read it.

Also, there are so many gorgeous covers for this one I could barely try to even pick just one...
The Bennet Sisters's Top Ten Covers
The Penguin Classic cover
Austenprose's Top Ten List
Marvel's Comic Interpretation (SO AWESOME)
