Uh, actually I have never read it.
But I'm sure it's good.
*bursts our crying*
How could you say such things EK? Pride and Prejudice *sob, sob* is the most wonderfulest book on the face of the planet. The moves are *sob, sob* awesome, and you are just plain mean! *sob, sob, sob*
*crying subsides*
And YOU Agentpaw! How in the world could you NOT have read read Pride an Prejudice?!?!? It is the most wonderfullest book ever (as stated above)!
Even my dad likes Pride and Prejudice (the movie) and Sense and Sensibility. so THERE
Some men just can't appreciate true talent and good literature when they see it.
I am leaving now to go finish my story. And FYI, Elizabeth just realized she is in love with Mr. Darcy.
*wipes eyes, glares at EK one last time, and opens her book*
PS Thank you Catspaw for your defense of my most beloved book. And yes, for some weird reason, it appeals to girls more than guys. I wonder why?

I also enjoy Pride and Prejudice immensly. It is one of the most excellent pieces of literature I've ever read, and I believe it is the best piece of literature from that time period.
The movies are also excellent.
And I'm going to act as Mr. Collins in a play performance of the story this summer.

You are clearly a person of refined taste! I'm sure that you'll do a wonderful job as Mr. Collins, though I wouldn't expect too many people to love you after seeing you as him! He's so loveably dreadful.Queen Prunaprismia wrote:I also enjoy Pride and Prejudice immensly.

That's cool about Emma, Darcie!
*pats Christina S on the back and hands her a box of tissues* They're crazy - don't listen to them.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves it!
Darcie, that is really, really, most fantastically awesome about Box Hill. I would LOVE to go to the places where they filmed the movies.
I sometimes wish that I lived in that time period, because it just appeals to me so much. But I don't know if I could handle all the 'social status' junk. I mean, people are equals not matter if you have "10,000 a year" or "a modest income" But back then, it was taboo to marry for love. you had to marry someone of your "social status" But I like the fact that men were gentlemanly, girls were feminine, life was simple, people were kind to one another, i could go on. But then, I wouldn't be here on the ToO, having tons of fun!

You know, that was the only person in the movie who I really didn't think they picked a good person to play the part. He was really nerdy.JesusIsAlive wrote:Why did they make Mr. Bingley so nerdy looking in the new movie?

I liked him. he was perfect. That is what made the scene where he was proposing to Elizabeth so funny, because he was so short! I think he was perfect
