I am not sure how I haven't reviewed Pride & Prejudice, but it's probably because I don't know where to start.
This is my all-time favorite book. I have read it more times than I can count since I was 12 and at each point in my life, I get something new from it. That said- it is not a book for everyone. Just because it's my favorite, does not mean that everyone will enjoy it. But here is why I love it.
The main reason is Mr. Darcy. I have yet to read a confident introvert written so well - or written at all. I identify with him and he remains one of the only fictional characters that I have been able to do so.
Austen is also a master of writing wit and sarcasm, and imbuing her works with feminism and how ridiculous society was (is), even as her books are set there.
Mostly, this book simply brings me joy.
