Pride and Prejudice

I finally started the book! I just picked it up and read chapter 1 aloud. As it happens, my sons were listening and they enjoyed it. It was a short chapter. They asked me to continue, so I read three more chapters.

I think that, without the movie, I would have missed a lot of the humor of the dialog. This is a case where I'm glad I saw the movie first. My friend at Thimble Cottage has her book and has been informed that we've started and gotten to chapter 4. Miss Roxie has probably read ahead of both of us by now.

If anyone wants to join us, you should know that we're all using the Barnes and Noble pocket-sized Collector's Library edition of the book so we can refer to page numbers.

We're about to finish up our family readaloud, which has been Little Men. We've decided to spend this new year in Howard Pyle's King Arthur series. We'll read as many as we can until we either read them all, or get tired of them and decide to move on to something else.
