I don't know how to describe why I love it so much except for just how much I enjoy reading it. Last night it was getting late and my husband wanted to turn off the lights. I whined that I only had 20 more pages to go to which he replied, "You already know how it ends!" It didn't matter - it was SO good I didn't want to put it down.
I feel like the characters are timeless and come to life right off the page. Austen is seriously so witty. I laugh out loud every single time I read this book. Elizabeth's father, in particular, has a couple of great one-liners. There you have it. Now you know why I chose this book for Category #12.
I found P&P a delight, mainly because of Elizabeth - she's witty but smart enough to know when she is wrong. It's easy to understand why Mr D falls for her. Also the surprise is very well done - we should have seen it coming but it still astonishes the reader. I've only read Austen in the last couple of years but I've become of Those Janeites.
