I'm reading Pride and Prejudice right now. I've been meaning to read it for ages so I'm glad I finally got around to it. It's a delightful book.

Elizabeth is sitting by in amazement as Mr. Darcy has a polite conversation with her uncle after the letter incident.

I'm also a great fan of Austen, though so far I've only read Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Mansfield Park (I'm going through her novels chronologically). My personal favorite of the three is Mansfield Park, but P&P is so much fun and lends itself well to analysis. Plus, Mr. Darcy is positively swoon-enducing.

I agree whole-heartedly. Mr. Darcy is amazing, and, strangly enough, reminds me of someone I know.

In my book, Mr. Darcy is well worth breaking the ratings.

But in any case, Mr. Darcy is far too noble to go about ripping bodices. At least not without asking permission first.

*trys to imagine Mr. Darcy asking Elizabeth if he can rip her bodice and then chuckles quietly*

If you all keep making references to this, I may actually have to read Jane Austen. Gasp.

I'm sorry, but if a guy reads Jane Austen he's almost certain to die of boredom.

She's supposedly one of the great English novelists or whatever, I'm sure I'll have to read her for school at some point...right?
