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 read “strangely” as for OP, meaning it’s different than most other books they read.
Me too. Also, “strangely” because it’s hard for them to describe what it is about the writing that makes it so fascinating.
“Strangely” because the synopsis of the book isn’t very catchy - “two people fall in love 200 years ago” as opposed to a genre like science fiction - “two people are trapped in a time bubble where they must harness the power of quantum snail mucous to escape… but which one of them is a clone of the other’s missing pet dog?”
