It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

I recently finished reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time and thoroughly loved it. I thought it might be drab. I thought I might dislike it just as much as I do Wuthering Heights.

I was so wrong.

Of course, I've already seen the movies--at least some of them--and know the basic premise of the story. So, I was pretty sure I would like the book. I didn't know how much I would love it!

I'd review the story, but I suspect you already know what it's all about. If you don't, you can certainly goggle and find a review that is much better than one I could write. I will say that, as with most books that have movies made out of them, its better than the movie. It is much better than the movie. I foresee that Pride and Prejudice will be a book I will read at least once a year.

It wasn't a difficult read, as I often assume older novels will be. I couldn't put it down! If you're in need of a really good love story, I highly recommend it. I was totally swooning at the end. :)

I cannot wait to watch the BBC Pride and Prejudice mini-series. I hear its the best movie version.

Next novel? I think I'll read Emma. I'm not sure if I'll like it as much, but it sure makes me want to watch Clueless!
