One of my top five books of all time. I think I am one of the very few women who doesn't care for the Bronte girls or Miss Austen.

What a great idea for a club!<br /><br />Darlene -<br />She was having a hard time 'hearing' the way the language flowed and once we read the first chapter aloud, she was good to go! I later overheard her talking to a friend that was struggling with P&P. She suggested reading out loud and said how much it helped her....that sure brought a smile to my face!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-80258956556996324602009-05-21T18:06:50.302-04:002009-05-21T18:06:50.302-04:00I'd love to read the Annotated copy one day.

I'm looking forward to it. <br /><br />I'm sure you and your sons will find some common literary loves when they are older. When my brother was in high school, he loved The Count of Monte Cristo (book and movies). I finally got around to reading it a couple years ago, and was sorry I waited so long.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-56704257071349604252009-05-21T16:03:35.657-04:002009-05-21T16:03:35.657-04:00Books that have surprise ending or a twist would b...Books that have surprise ending or a twist would be refreshing to me.

My first P&P copy was a mass market Bantam paperback, which I later replaced with a hardcover Modern Library, which I love love love. :D How sweet to share a fave book with your daughters. I hope one day when my sons are older, we could do the same (although surely it won't be P&P).
