2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

After almost 1 whole year several unfortunate beatings to the pages and much neglect, I have finally finished what's recognized as Austen's defining piece of writing. The novel is definitely deserving of such high praise. On first glance, one might find the book lengthy, but as the story unfolds, it captures you with its intelligence. Jane's pinning, Darcy's inexplicable and perplexing character, Elizabeth's feelings. It was a reflection of society at that time, appearances and civility demand much more of its residents and to such rules, feelings and emotions were to conform to, with the exception of our female protagonist, no doubt.
