I actually read this at the beginning of the year (I had an entire honors seminar devote to P&P) but I forgot it was on this list! I absolutely loved it, though I think it’s interesting how Austen’s novels all feature very similar themes (esp. similarities between P&P and S&S). I love her writing though, she’s hilarious and witty and Mr. Darcy is a gentleman in every sense of the word. ;) 11 months ago
