Pride and Prejudice

For the most part, I love all novels. No matter what the topic, they are always fun to read. (Especially after a long year of classes and studies.) It's always nice to curl up in a blanket and escape for a little bit. More and more people are turning to the television which in my opinion is a lot of noise sometimes. Don't get me wrong I love a good movie with popcorn every now and then. However, after a long day, the last thing I want to do is to hear a bunch of chaos.

This novel, Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen is a classic novel that has been one of my favorites. (Don't watch the movie and call it good.) This is a must read. It is a great love story filled with frustration, romance, and annoying characters that you grow to love and relate to. It was the first novel that I found myself getting so angry with the characters and wanting to scream at them for being to stubborn. Enjoy it!

New Half!

For the second group of books that I will read or have read, I would like to go into some literary fiction novels and open the subject up to read comments and suggestions from other bloggers. Let me know what you all think! In a class that I have taken, I learned that there is a difference in novels of literary value and escape reading. Novels of literary value include stories that a reader can take even the smallest bit of knowledge from. It gives one that insight to something that they got from the reading. Escape reading on the other hand is a collected group of reading material in which the reader doesn't get a feel of the characters and that there is little effort put into reading the piece. It is an easy read and one more to "escape" from everyday living. Wish me luck on my novel quest!
