You have no idea how many times I have read each and every one of Jane Austin's magnificent books. Incidently P&P has remained my favourite since my English tutor recommended it to me at the age of 11. Gosh, how I loved Mrs Njoroge! * Becoming submerged in nostalgic memories * You read it at age 11? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: You made me feel stubid BARWAAQO :mad: (considering that Im in my late thirties!) I finally got the book last week and tried to see what everyone was raving about. However, try as I might, I couldnt read past the first 3 chapters. I really found it hard to read..both the style and language was very dificult to understand. Id get confused or my mind would wander...couldnt concentrate. It reminded me of Shakespeare...maybe I'm not cut out for classics just yet...or...maybe it was an old edition...I dont know....anyway...I returned it promptly Woe to he has deprived his mind of a literary feast. I had a nibble and It wasnt to my taste. Next dish please.... Speaking of Jane...Im presently reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. <----Now this one I can understand and actually enjoy.

sheherazade Posted December 21, 2004 FF, but u must persist- you're missing so much. Get that book back from the library this instance! Alright, so it wasn't to your taste. I read both P&P and Jane Eyre the summer I turned 15. Sigh. What a summer it was. Books had my attention, boys stood no chance. Some things don't change.
