Time for a new reading thread! I hadn't actually planned this, but I am celebrating the 200th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice by finally reading it! I have now read all the other Austen novels and P&P was the last one left. I had been stalling on P&P because I have seen and read so many adaptations and variations that I really wondered if there would be any enjoyment left in reading the book.
Turns out I am enjoying it a great deal. I am reading a few pages a day using this free service, which I have mentioned before:
www. dailylit.com. They will email you or give you a blog feed every day with a short excerpt from your chosen book. It has been a great way for me to read some of the more challenging classics that I would probably get bogged down in and give up on without the little push. I went back to my records and I have read about 35 books that way in the last five years, some quite long.
What are you reading this year?
