Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen


Kindle | Project Gutenberg

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

What better way to inaugurate this blog than with one of the best and most beloved classics of English literature? I shall not sport with your intelligence by telling you what Pride and Prejudice is about, but merely content myself with saying that any praise you have heard of Jane Austen is fully merited, and you should definitely read this book.

Note: I haven't read the free Kindle edition from cover to cover myself, but it appears to be readable and complete. There are some conflicting customer reviews claiming it is abridged, by often reviews from different editions of a book are combined on Amazon. I compared several chapters from the "Look Inside" feature word by word to the Project Gutenberg edition, and found them exactly the same. If anyone finds significant formatting issues with the ebooks I've linked to, do drop a comment and let me know so I can update the posts for the benefit of readers!
