Cindy seruptitiously packed Pride and Prejudice in my suitcase. There was nothing on TV so I started working through it, and realized that through the eyes of a more experienced adult, that the story was very, very funny. I breezed through it in about five hours and laughed often.
ugh really? i had to read Pride and Prejudice 2 months ago, and although i like the class itself, and i got all the "funny" parts, i cant stand that book! might have to read it again in a few years... as for other Jane Austin novels i dont know i havent read any others.
as for readin books for love, i've only had one book "pushed" on me, but it was The Little Prince, which is a good book, so ive had no problems there. As for the Da Vinci Code, it is actually a very good book (you might want to read Angels and Deamons first, you might like that better) but the book does not get much anywhere till about maybe 6 chapters in, and after then its pretty good, and ya just get lost in it.
also, you can allways
say that you read the book (watch the movie to get the basic plot so you can bluff!) if its THAT bad. Otherwise i would say that its a pretty good sign if your partner has "required reading" unless its something like The Chronicles of Narnia...
I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds? Six pounds? Seven pounds?
