I love pride and Prejudice movie and Jane Austen fan fiction but have yet to read the original. Just started reading little women but after that I’m reading pride and Prejudice.
I have to get this book. I got the abridged version of the book with the most gorgeous illustrations, but didn’t like it because I felt like I was missing more than half the book. It left a bad taste in my mouth, but I should actually pick up the full book and read it.
@Rachel I’ll see if I can order it at my local Chapters. Sometimes, Barnes and Noble sends these special editions to Indigo, and Chapters gets them in stock to sell.
Read this book for high school. I adored this book. It’s one of the few books that I kept. Though, my copy is old, falling apart, and is fully annotated!
It is really hard to recommend books to somebody else because my definition of an easy read may cause somebody else extreme difficulty. However, I suppose I can recommend The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, and The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain.
@Jeanette I hope you found a book out of all these recommendations to try! It’s definitely a night to curl up with a nice book. It’s 40 below zero where I am! I imagine that it isn’t much warmer where you are.
@Jeanette You are in Fahrenheit? 25 would be -3 in degrees Celsius. Definitely cold, but up here in the north of Ontario, when you step outside, it definitely feels as though your face is about to fall off. My family owns an old Victorian. Despite it being completely renovated, you can definitely feel the chill coming in through the walls.
Tom Sawyer and the adventure of Huckleberry … Both I definitely count as classics … Although shud have read them at the age of 10-15 actually 😉 … That’s the time where you can relate to every line in the book easily 😉
Pride and Prejudice
@Cresta thank you
I’ve always read but never got around to reading the classics. My goal is to get at least 4 classics in this year.

Little Women
@Rachel love the original movie. I may have read it as a child. So that would be a good choice too.
@Jeanette I’ve only watched the 90s little women movie with Susan Sarandon and Winona Ryder. Love the storyline of Little women.

Got this for Christmas. Can’t wait to read it.
@Rachel That is a gorgeous cover! I am a sucker for beautiful covers. Is it the full book or an abridged version?
@Tiffany it’s the full book. My mom found it at barnes and noble.

I’m reading Jane Eyre at the moment. Loving it.
