Pride and Prejudice “blew my mind”. Reading this book reaffirmed the startling truth that we never know ourselves as well as we think we do. I can get all gooey over a love story. Who knew? This is a story I now read every year, love it, and am always asking people their takes on the novel. I never would have thought a novel written 200 years ago could be so frightfully like my life today. Pride and Prejudice IS the best book ever written in the English language.
