... one I've never read 2. Emma - my favorite 3. Northanger Abbey - 2nd favorite (you see where this is going) 4. Pride and Prejudice 5. Sense and Sensibility

... the Willows yesterday and started reading A Room with a View for the Monthly Author Reads group. Still listening to Pride and Prejudice, and really enjoying the reread.

... . My son picked The Iliad when he had to pick a book more than 100 years old...he said a bunch of his classmates picked Pride and Prejudice because their moms loved it, but he didn't want to (and had been giving me much crap for years over how I love that book and the A&E mini-series), and ...

I hated Pride and Prejudice, absolute torture to read. However, our teacher let us watch the BBC movie of it, and it was then that I actually understood what the big picture was. It also made me realize how great a character Mrs. Bennet is.

I hated Northanger Abbey and Emma. But I read Pride and Prejudice a couple of years ago and found it bearable. I'll probably read Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility but I doubt that I can ever go back to the first two.

If I could only have one book for the rest of my life it has to be something I love and can read over and over again and Pride and Prejudice fits that bill. Plus it always makes me laugh.

... Other books which I disliked and have either re-read (20+ years later), or plan to re-read, include A Tale of Two Cities, Pride and Prejudice and All Quiet on the Western Front. As a 12-year old I could neither understand nor appreciate them.

... Wuthering Heights 35. Jane Eyre 36. The Pit and the Pendulum 37. The Fall of the House of Usher 38. Emma 39. Pride and Prejudice 40. Sense and Sensibility 41. The Golden Ass 42. Aithiopika 43. A Christmas Carol 44. The Purloined Letter 45. A Tale of Two Cities 46 ...

ShannonMDE I am also one of the few who has not read a Jane Austen book. I just purchases Pride and Prejudice and will read next.

... a mystery with Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy as the protagantists. This is the fourth mystery involving them and, unlike a lot of Pride and Prejudice sequels, these are really good - and fun too.

... fetish club. I just never did recover after that. #164 ShannonMDE Welcome to the Austen Club :-) I've read Pride and Prejudice a few times in my life, but have been working my way through her books in order of publication, which allowed me to read her work in a different, and ...

Count me as another first time reader for Jane Austen. I'm reading Pride and Prejudice. It seems Austen has been very sneakily following me for the past month. From watching Jane Austen Book Club on TV to reading many reviews of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, to just various articles that I've ...

Pretty much the same as last week. Still reading Pride and Prejudice. I'll pick up the Zombies version when I'm done. Also, more from The Fireside Book of Christmas Stories. And we started doing a read-aloud of Cricket on the Hearth as time permits. Never read this one. Christmas Carol ...

... here's what I'd personally go with: Rebecca- great book for imagery, Gothic elements, and mystery/suspense. Pride and Prejudice- a true classic! The teacher in me wonders what your daughter's 16 year old mind would make out of Lydia's behaviour and the way it affects her whole ...

... Vladimir Nabokov 3. For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway 4. All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy 5. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 6. The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro 7. Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace 8. What’s Bred in the Bone by Robert ...

For English LTers, can you just remind us how old that makes your daughter? I'm guessing 16-ish? If I'm right then she has some great books to choose from and I would especially recommend Things Fall Apart, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, The House of Spirits, Of Love and Shadows, Pride and Preju ...

Oh, and if you're going to include classics like the Scarlet Letter, why not include Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice? Why is A Christmas Carol the only work by Dickens included when Jules Verne gets 3 entries?

#13 Pride and Prejudice was my first Austen book and remains my favorite. As for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy I not only love the book but also the original BBC radio productions of it. The original broadcast happened way before I was born. But luckily for me I was able to catch the ...

... mini-series are great to have - let's face it, some of the mini-series are the best adaptations we're going to find! (The Pride and Prejudice being one of the best examples - Kiera Knightly's Oscar nomination notwithstanding!) Is it really too late to say "Related movies/tv"? ;)

You can't go wrong with Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility. I am yet to read Mansfield Park myself! And Northanger Abbey is silly fun. Not her best, but amusing stuff. Oh dear. Did I just recommend them all?? I'm still going slowly on London Orbital. Finding ...

Good question! The only one I haven't read yet is Pride and Prejudice (although I've seen enough film versions and take offs on it that I can tell you the entire cast of characters, their relationships to each other and the storyline). I loved Mansfield Park, but I studied it at uni with a ...

Persuasion is my favorite Austen, and I think her best. It's the most mature, the most well developed I think. Pride and Prejudice is kind of juvenile, imho.

... you're an Austen virgin? How thrilling. Not sure you should start with Northanger Abbey though--it's not her best work. Pride and Prejudice is of course the best known and most-widely loved. I personally am partial to Sense and Sensibility. I think Mansfield Park is her masterpiece, but ...

#79 I've read and re-read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion many, many times. I even broke my no TV/movie adaptations and audio books rule for them. But I've never felt the urge to re-read Emma or Sense and Sensibility. I didn't hate or love these two. I just felt nothing. But ...

57: I hope you feel better soon. decided on a reread of Pride and Prejudice. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it and what an easy read it is.

I finished Mansfield Park this afternoon. Don't know what to read next. Maybe a reread of Pride and Prejudice... Also got some Agatha Christie short stories downloaded a little earlier.

... Emma which I thought excellent. I don't have much to compare it with in relation to Austen's other works (I've only read Pride and Prejudice) but I thought it lived up to her reputation. Admittedly, I sometimes thought Emma to be infuriating but it ends up being a huge source of the novel's ...

Almost there! #73 Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Another classic, and a lovely one. Great humor and a great read. (4 stars)

Brilliant load of books! Pride and Prejudice - great place for an early foray into classics. A copy of Slaughterhouse Five arrived here yesterday too, in a load of brilliant books given to us by a friend, so I'm looking forward to it!

... but I know that I won't. For those who are reading them, it's their own choice. To each his/her own. For me the original Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are good enough, thank you very much!

... However, it IS my number sevety-five and it is another book spun on the skeleton, so to speak, of a classic, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It is amusing to read, as was the original work on which this book of Zombie lives and times in merry ol' England is based, and sometimes the humor ...

Pride and Prejudice - doesn't really need an explanation, does it? Jamaica Inn - possibly the first "adult" book I read as a child, and now disintegrating gently. Friday's Tunnel by John Verney - made me yearn to be part of a huge, mad family with erudite, creative parents as well ...

#54, I haven't read any of those yet. This morning I tried a bit of Pride and Prejudice on Gutenberg, and I think I will like that one too. It has been my plan to read it, so I can also read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in a couple of months time. I will also look at the other Brontë's. Than ...

Now, it may be cruel comparing this book to Pride and Prejudice, arguably one of the world's greatest novels, but Ms Meyer brought it on herself.

Bury me with Pride and Prejudice and I shall be happy even in death.

To Kill A Mockingbird, Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre are the top 3 on my all-time favorite book list. I re-read these about once every other year. The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy comes a close 4th

Thanks Porua! These are two good books to have in common. Pride and Prejudice always makes me laugh out loud and even though I know the ending, I always suffer along with the characters. As for The Secret Garden, it makes me dream about living in a garden such as the one Mary, Dickon and Colin ...

Welcome to the group, mihess! We seem to have two books in common, The Secret Garden and Pride and Prejudice. Although I've recently read Catch-22, I wouldn't put it in my top 10, as I'm not sure that I will re-read it in the future. It's not that I didn't like it. It was just a difficult ...

Well, there have been "serious" reimaginings of Pride and Prejudice, and frankly they don't excite me. (There was a sequel, Pemberley, and Mr Darcy's Diary, plus unknown others, I'm sure.) Zombies running (er, shambling) wild around Merington, well, that got me giggling from the start. I ...

... (some more than others) and still get something new out of them each time, but the difference between reading, for example Pride and Prejudice (the first I read) when I was 10 and rereading it yet again last year, was astronomical - I really didn't get Mr Collins the first time round at all!

With thanks to DailyLit I've finished The Time Machine. So now I'm on to Pride and Prejudice. Seen the movie many times so I thought it was finally time to read the book. Also still plowing through The Far Pavilions.

I'm a bit fuzzy on terminology here. What's makes a novel 'literary' rather than 'genre'? Is Pride and Prejudice a literary novel while Pride and Prejudice and Zombies a genre novel? (yes, there is a book coming out shortly by that name, and, yes, it's a rewrite of Austen's novel with ...

... *sigh* I hope you have fun with your Austen collection! I haven't read any of her books yet although I have Pride and Prejudice on my short list of books to read (which means I'll hopefully get to it sometime this year).

... O'Brian might try C.S. Forester's Hornblower series. Better written, and much more engaging. I'm a big fan of Pride and Prejudice, and I also really enjoyed Jane Eyre and Vanity Fair, so it shows how much tastes can differ. I agree Burning Bright was surprisingly boring - ...

I confess that I've never read Pride and Prejudice...I must give it a try.

Finished Pride and Prejudice yesterday. Highly enjoyable, a bit crazy, and almost completely engaging. Loved Mr. Bennet's dry wit, felt creeped out by Mr. Collins. Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship was enjoyable to watch. 42/75 completed

9. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, with its secrets, changing emotions, and general craziness. Mr. Bennet was one of my favourite characters (hooray for cynicism and dry wit!), while Mr. Collins, as expected, was a complete and utter creeper. Ick. A great ...

... and Sensibility is probably abridged too - how annoying! If you are interested in getting into Austen, I would suggest Pride and Prejudice first - Sense and Sensibility is just as accessible, but not quite as good, IMO. However, whatever one you decide to start with, I hope you enjoy it!!

... every obstacle along the way. The romance part of the story was perfect too, of all books it could have reminded me of, Pride and Prejudice is what came to my mind the most often.

... believe how similar they were. And then this huge lightbulb went off, and then I felt ridiculous. After Emma, I read Pride and Prejudice, which is, to this day, one of my favorite books ever. (Just how favorite? I have a website -- I suppose you could call it a blog, but I hate that word, ...

... I love retellings of Austen's classics from the male point of view, as you'll see with my reads for the month! 1. Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen - In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I wanted to read some of my favorite romances. Naturally, I had to reread this one as Mr. Darcy ...

... Jane Austen - I've run out now, so can only sate my Austen-thirst by re-reading... My favourite is Persuasion, but Pride and Prejudice comes a close second...

>172: I'm reading two Austens a year. Last year I read Pride and Prejudice and Emma. In January of this year I read Sense and Sensibility—Persuasion will be my second. I have enjoyed them all so far. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite, followed closely by Emma. Sense and Sensib ...

Which Austen is it going to be? I read my first last year Emma and enjoyed it a great deal. This month, Pride and Prejudice for me.

Reading Emma by Jane Austen. My second Austen. So far preferring it to Pride and Prejudice. Which I loved. Also War and Peace for 75 book challenge group read. Started off fast, now slowing down, due mainly to the physical bulk of the book.

... audio book is a physical object in your library. Would you enter it in your library if you watched a TV version of Pride and Prejudice? Or saw the film version of Inkheart?

Good news: I had forgotten (and I don't know how!). My co-worker has two copies of the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice and said she is going to give me her extra copy. Those who are quoting P&P, beware! ;)

I'm not much of a chick-lit reader, but I adore the A&E production of Pride and Prejudice, and so Austenland tickled my funnybone no end! I originally picked it up to look at the blurb because I had already read some of Shannon Hale's juvenile fantasy, and had to get it when I realized the ...

There should be lots of leeway with being "true to a source." Ergo, no zombies or M1 Abrams tanks in Pride and Prejudice ;) From "Red Dwarf": Beyond a Joke (1997) (Kryten has invaded Kochanski's "Pride and Prejudice" VR game with a tank.) Kryten: Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I ...

One of my favorite dragon books is Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton. It's the Pride and Prejudice of dragonkind.

19 Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Loved it. Completely lives up to the hype. Despite the writing style, it feels really modern and you find yourself empathising very easily with all the characters. Austen is definitely now a favourite of mine (yes, this is the first one of hers I've read) ...

Having been thoroughly put off 'the classics' at school, the 1001 list has encouraged me to read some. I even enjoyed Pride and Prejudice which I read in 2008 after hating Emma and Northanger Abbey at school. I have read H.G.Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson and Edgar Alan Poe in the ...

... the horrors of abridged books, I was browsing the audiobook section at a local bookstore the other day, and found a copy of Pride and Prejudice for only $15.

... iman. Bit too scary for children I would have thought. Quick read, good writing style. Not a favourite though. Reading Pride and Prejudice - wonderful, don't want it to end. Now I have to read all of the rest of her books in one go.

Oh, don't feel bad! I finished my first (Pride and Prejudice) yesterday. Just pick something short to catch up for February. I'm still mulling over my next pick. By the way, I really liked Chocolat and Confessions of a Shopaholic isn't too bad if you like chick-lit. Neither are ...

I just thought of another secondary romance - Jane Bennet and Charles Bingley in Pride and Prejudice - smacking head - how could I have forgotten? A perfect example of a secondary romance and they're so different from Darcy and Elizabeth.

>66, You know, some books just need a reread to be good. That's how Pride and Prejudice was for me. I hated it the first time, but the second time I read it, I couldn't put it down and finished it in a day and a half. It's now one of my favorite books of all time. Likewise, some books are only ...

5. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen - This is the clasic romance about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy . Wonderful comedy about Nineteenth Century love and manners .

1: *searches Amazon for Pride and Prejudice game* I can't find it! I really want one, for what do we live for but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn.

... here in the U.S. whose only forays into "classic" or "literary" fiction are Jane Austen novels. A friend of mine who lists Pride and Prejudice literally has not read a novel since high school; she says that since she "didn't like anything else she read in high school," her vote goes to Jane Aust ...

8. (Comfort) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Something very different was required after finishing American Psycho and Austen certianly fills that brief!

Emma was probably one of the more boring books I've ever read. Which made my love of Pride and Prejudice such a welcome surprise. I'm trying to get 52 books read, ~1 per week. I'm at 8 now, and I have a pretty sizeable stack sitting on my windowsill. Also, trying to read more nonfiction - ...

#5-Louisiana? Pride and Prejudice, any setting.

Today I've started Pride And Prejudice . A great 1001 ... choice for the week leading up to Valentine's Day !

... Austen prattles on too much, which I sort of understand, and she'd worked out what was going to happen when. (They did Pride and Prejudice last year so it's not too surprising.) One book that she loved was Romulus, My Father which I believe I sent to wookiebender last year. I'm so glad we ...

In reality, though, each is a very different animal, as I was reminded this week when I reread Sens ...

... with it I was monumentally disappointed... but maybe the classics just aren't my cup of tea: I wasn't that thrilled with Pride and Prejudice when I read it last year either. I'm not giving up though - still have some Dickens in my TBR pile...

I've seen the complete sets of Austen on ebay also, and while they are nice, I find they are not quite to my taste. While Pride and Prejudice is one of my all-time favorite books, I have always hated Emma. So having the separate volumes available was nice - I could buy only the ones I really ...

... than that, I've been reading more classics and really enjoying it. The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorites. Pride and Prejudice grew on me. Currently reading The Great Gatsby and it's... meh... okay, I guess. Also, The Odyssey which I'm liking more than I thought I would.

2. Sense & Sensibility Of the three Jane Austen books I've read, I liked this one best -- I'm sure Pride and Prejudice would hold that title, but I haven't attempted it since I was fifteen or sixteen, and think I need to go back to it now that I've gained a bit of confidence with Austen. ...

... age. Stiletto heels? In Bronze Age England? That makes about as much sense as a M1 Abrams tank on the Bennett Estate in Pride and Prejudice. To be fair, P&P needed more armored tank divisions.

I'll add the A&E adaptation of Pride and Prejudice to well-done movies of books! I LOVE that version.

... Princess. There are quite a few other titles for under $50 each there. I would also vote for the Austens; I already had Pride and Prejudice but I picked up Persuasion when I joined a few months ago.

>80: I think that, given a choice between Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, there would be no question of choosing the first.

So - how did you like Pride and Prejudice? I think I will check out The Wisdom of Father Brown. Thanks for your comments on what you've read.

Great stories and great books. I have scores of books that I love. Pride and Prejudice is just so deliciously perfect as a work of art, that it is my number one favourite literary classic. The book that has had the greatest impact on my life when I read it at age 16 was John's Gospel. ...

The only two books I've ever rated 5 star (masterpiece) are Pride and Prejudice and Killer Angels by Michael Schaara. I'm very stingy with 4 1/2 stars and 5 stars. Favorites? From childhood: Charlotte's Web,The Enormous Egg, Escape from Warsaw, The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Cre ...
