This week's prompt is : What book would you love to be able to read again for the first time?This is an easy one for me to answer because I have thought about this many times. Pride and Prejudice. I read it at a fairly young age, old enough to appreciate the story line but a bit young to really appreciate on a critical level the writing style, humour and intelligence of the author. And I have read it so many times since, that I could recite whole chunks of it verbatim!
I would love to be able to read this story with fresh adult eyes, and discover the witty wonder of this masterpiece for the first time.
I don't like Austen. I can't re-read as the first time was enough for me!

For me Pride and Prejudice got better and better and now it is an all time favorite.
ReplyDeleteAh Gautami Tripathy, speaking as a huge Austen fan, that is sad for you!!
ReplyDeleteNise, agree it just gets better, but would love to remember what my first reactions were - at that time I didn't realise what the book would come to mean to me.
I chose this one as well. Here is A Second First Time
