April
After reading Twilight 3 times, I decided to read the classics that inspired such writing... (I know now reading them as a teen did no justice to these great books) Pride and Prejudice and then Mansfield Park, both by the brilliant late Jane Austen. Barnes and Nobles has a classics section and the books range from 4.95 to around 7.95 depending I suppose on popularity of the classic? They were both extremely entertaining and I can not decide which was the better. Pride and Prejudice had me laughing out loud! When Mr. Darcy tells Elizabeth, " I am not afraid of you." It was such a moment. However, Mansfield Park and the society in which the characters Fanny Price and Edmund Bertram are brought together and dispersed tugged at my heart a little more. Next on the list is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (her only novel).
