Pride and Prejudice

Finally I finished my first novel on Kindle. Yes its Pride and Prejudice, one of the preloaded books that come with the Kindle. My husband says that I was reading high school books. I never got to read it fully in my high school so I very much enjoyed reading it.
I guess the story is no different from any romantic novel but the way Jane Austin fill the pages with her artistic style of language and the ways she attracts her readers is amazing. I could not put down the book once I started reading it. It took me a full week to complete it though. I think this is one book every person should read it before they finish their high school. I feel too good reading this one even if it’s a decade or two later. With this I can check one book down in my list of books to read before I die.
