I’m reading “Pride and prejudice” and I’m strangely enjoying it. I like the characters and the story, I’m really hooked with the book, but I don’t really know why it is so interesting and how Austen makes me feel interested in a book that, maybe just in the surface, is so mundane.
In the past, I also read “Sense and sensibility” for University and I also enjoyed it very much.
How do you think Austen makes this? How does she make a realistic and simple book so interesting in its story and its characters?
I hated pride and prejudice in highschool but I think I should read it again because she is supposed to be very funny. I did not pick up on the humour then but maybe I would now. Some people fail to see the humour in Dostoevsky but he makes me lmao. I’m not sure I would have enjoyed him had I read him in highschool though?
