I have read this book a bunch of times and in fact even read this very copy of it before. But I saw it on the shelf and thought, isn’t that a lovely edition, I want to read it. Then I thought, come on, you’ve read that book a bunch of times. But a few days later I couldn’t resist and started reading it. I mean, look at it ! About the size of my hand, cloth bound AND an awesome book!
You guys, it is totally a Friday Favourite! I love this book so much. It is so rich. And full of tension and excitement. Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen I still was so swept up in it and felt the bloom of love and all the attendant disappointments. Seriously, I couldn’t stop smiling when Elizabeth and Darcy got together. But it’s not just that, there is so much depth to the world created in it. I really dug on imagining Bingley and Darcy sitting around talking about how in love with the Bennet girls they were. There is so much in it that it creates this really full world that you can think about and imagine.
Of course I can not read it without thinking of this Darcy.
What an excellent Darcy. I love that guy!
I guess what I am trying to say is that I love the shit out of this book. And I am really happy I read it again.
Although it is not as wonderful of the book, just in case people feel like a little Friday distraction, perhaps you would like to watch a clip from the BBC series. This one shows Darcy to advantage. (A gentleman and his dogs).
