I have 110 pages to go. I hope I'll be done in time for discussion.
Hat on Grumpy cat, sooo cute!!Finished reading it last night, so now Googling to see what's out there on the book, now that I can't get spoiled again.
One thing I found is this excellent pictorial slideshow summary of the book: Pride & Prejudice An Animal Summary

Yes, Char would NOT have married Creepy Cousin Collins, but he did add some comic relief.6. Is there any part of the book you would change?
Ha!!!!8. What is important about the title?
I still feel a little like this cat.
I agree. In fact, it wasn't till I started Googling and saw pics from the P&P movies, that it occurred to me to wonder what the characters were wearing. I did wonder what they were eating, and wished that had been mentioned too.6. Is there any part of the book you would change?
Yes, I wish Jane would have included details about frocks, hair, actually
all clothing and facial descriptions.
Oh, that's quite sad. I really know nothing about Jane Austen, so just Googled. She was only 41 when she died, and that was only 4 years after she wrote P&P, and the year after she wrote "Emma".Since reading somewhere that of all her heroines, Elizabeth Bennet was the author’s favourite character, the novel makes me feel quite sad. Jane Austen never married – she lived a sheltered uneventful life, with very little hope of meeting a suitable husband.
Saw the movie but don't remember anything about itSpeaking of "Emma" has anyone read it?
I wondered about that as well. Love food descriptions but Jane was all about dialogue in P&PI did wonder what they were eating, and wished that had been mentioned too.
Generally I prefer dialogue to lengthy paragraphs of descriptions, but some mention of attire, hair and food would have been interesting. But I suppose since it wasn't written as a period piece, she didn't feel the need to tell her readers about normal life things.I wondered about that as well.

Such cuteness!!!Generally I prefer dialogue to lengthy paragraphs of descriptions, but some mention of attire, hair and food would have been interesting. But I suppose since it wasn't written as a period piece, she didn't feel the need to tell her readers about normal life things.
So lots of dialogue.
