“Pride and Prejudice” on unusual reading list
The Kansas City Star has published an odd reading list: “the great unread”. Your Humble Reporter was indignant when she found that one of Jane’s books on the list, but was (slightly) pacified by the accompanying commentary:
There are those books one is embarrassed to admit one has never read. But I’ll include one here: Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. And given my affection for Bridget Jones’s Diary, I want to discover for myself Helen Fielding’s inspiration for a character as human as Bridget.
Perhaps we’ve gained a new FOJ here?
