31.Jan.2010 Calling Pride and Prejudice First Timers
Are you one of the few people left who have NOT read Pride and Prejudice?
I’m going to read it in the month of February (what with Valentine and all), with David and uncertainprinciples, and I thought I extend the invitation, just in case there are some of you who feel like you always want to read it but are not sure when, and feel pretty lonely because everybody else seems to have read it 16 times since they were 12. I have never read a Jane Austen myself, so this would be my first.
Just for fun, I worked out a schedule. But if you’re reading in rabbit speed, you can hop away and leave the turtles behind :)
week 1: chapter 1-17 (finish by 7 Feb)
week 2: chapter 18-34 (finish by 14 Feb)
week 3: chapter 35-47 (finish by 21 Feb)
week 4: chapter 48-61 (finish by 28 Feb)
My copy is 352 pp, so each week is about 88 pages. I don’t plan to post updates in between, unless I have something to say (also because in week 3 and 4, I’ll be going back to the land where Internet is ancient and mindbogglingly irritating). I will post my thoughts some time in the first week of March. If you read the book and post any thoughts on it between now and then, I would love it if you come back and leave a link to yours. Who knows, we may trigger some interesting discussions.
