Pride and prejudice is just not for me

Cool. But the book is boring. Sorry, not sorry. I'm sure some people would definitely like this book, but I just can't say I'm a fan of the book. Let me make it clear that I love Jane Austen's, modern feminism, forward thinking and everything in the book, but I had to make myself breathing while reading each and every line of the book just to complete the book because I'm someone who can't stop reading a book until I finish it

why does Jane matter?

Well, I think there's three ways to understand Jane Austin and Pride in Prejudice. The first is why someone made you read it, because that does happen end up in an English literature class somewhere. And we're told that we need to read Pride and Prejudice, and we need to read Jade Austin, and we need to understand her place in English literature

And I felt that it was not kind of my book, like no one pressured me. As you asked. I just read it out of your curiosity and it just didn't work for me. But when I think of it, I really do agree with writing that story in that point of time was really brilliant, but I don't know. It's just not for me, but I love your perspective. Thank you so much, Barbara, for replying

And that's why some people would consider them classics. But there are some good books in here. You might want to take a look at some of these. And boy, I'd love to know what books you like to read, what are somehow your favorites, because actually, I don't read many mystery novels, and I really should. What would you consider a classic mystery novel
