steady as she goes

Admittedly, I'm not as far as I would like to be with the book. I do love it though. Right now, I'm on chapter 6 of part 2. Sorry, I hope I'm not too far behind you all. Please let me know where you are and I'll catch up!

This is one of my favorite parts from the book, Mrs. Bennet is such a funny and obnoxious character!

"I have no pleasure in talking to undutiful children.-Not that I have much pleasure indeed in talking to any body. People who suffer as I do from nervous complaints can have no great inclination for talking. Nobody can tell what I suffer!-But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied!"

Oh my gosh, I laughed out loud!

Mr. Bennett is Jane Austen's Jerry Seinfeld

I tried to comment on Sarah's post but it didn't work. So I'll make it a new post. I am totally behind but I am LOVING it so far. It is so full of humor. Isn't it interesting how a classic book like this can make you laugh out loud and there's no cursing, crude remarks, etc.? Gee it's amazing to think we can be entertained by something wholesome.

My favorite character is Mr. Bennett. He is so funny with Mrs. Bennett, teasing her and being sarcastic all the time but you can also tell he loves her.

don't know

I asked Brian, and he said he would check it out at lunch today. For now, lets just post when we have something to say. Sorry girls:(

So what does everyone think of the book so far? Is anyone else reading it?

Sarah

problem yes

I know! I can't make comments on posts. It doesn't work. Is there someone we contact to fix it? How does it work?

blog problem

Hey everyone,

I left a comment on Mom's post yesterday, and today it's gone. I have no clue what's wrong with the blog. Just thought I'd write a little something here.

I'm on chapter 17, and I'm really enjoying the book. I have already read Pride & Prejudice several times, it's my favorite book. What do you all think of it so far?

I love the way Austen writes about Mr. Collins. He is such a ridiculous fool of a character, "a mixture of pride and obsequiousness, self-importance and humility." I find myself laughing out loud often, the writing is so clever.

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering where you all are in your reading of P&P. I'm just getting started but I want to keep up so fess up all you intellectuals, where are you?

How about we start Pride & Prejudice on Sunday the 15th, and read 15 chapters by Sunday the 22nd?
