Brief P&P mention in Detroit Free Press
In her review of Kazuo Ishiguro’s new book, Marta Salij mentions Pride and Prejudice in passing, which we note here for all of those (you know who you are) who can’t get enough of those wacky Darcys.
Isn’t that true for all books? That if you know the ending, the book is spoiled? No, I’d say, not really. You can know that Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy end up together and still have plenty of reasons to read and re-read “Pride and Prejudice.” (If you don’t figure out that they’ll end up together about two pages after they meet, I’m not sure you deserve to read Austen.)
Should we be embarrassed to admit that we thought Lizzy was going to marry Colonel Fitzwilliam the first time we read P&P?
Tangentially, as we recently posted, Kazuo Ishiguro is an F.O.J.

HA! And everyone thought I was strange when I thought that General Tilney wanted Catherine for himself!

General Tilney and Catherine is MUCH weirder than Monty and Lizzy!
P.S. MoP last chapter almost done, with Monty/Lizzy scene. *runs away*
