Picking a Book (#4)

This week I'm reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It was published in 1813. This book is a romantic comedy, and is one of Jane Austen's most famous books. I've heard so many good reviews on this book, and I can't wait to read it. From this book, I'm pretty sure that it's about how pride and prejudice affect Mr. Darcy's and Elizabeth's judgments of each other. I am looking forward to reading this book, because I've heard that Austen uses a lot of irony, and that the dialogue is extremely witty.

About the Author
Okay. Well most people know about Jane Austen, right? She was born on December 16, 1775, and in her lifetime she has become one of the most well-known authors of all time. Many of her works talk about moral issues, especially on the dependence women had on marriage, so that their reputation and money would be maintained.

One interesting fact about Jane Austen is that in 1795 (when Jane Austen was in her 20's), she began flirting with a man named Tom Lefroy, but his family disapproved of her, because her family weren't of the same economic status, and he wanted to marry a richer woman. awww, poor Jane.
