https://www.booksns.com/93197/ Is pride and prejudice overrated? #books I apologize in advance to any Jane Austen fans out there, but I recently started reading Pride and Prejudice, and I’m seven chapters in—honestly, I’m struggling to keep going. The book feels really off-putting and, to be blunt, boring. What’s the point of all these endless discussions? Who even talks like this in real life? …
nostr:npub1f75ecjaw677ytygzkwu8pawvsr0zs85rgh7qk4pld4hwfnzdr22s4ep6je you are reading a satire of the overwritten romance novels of the time. If you think it's boring, maybe it just isn't for you?
and no, it's not overrated. There's a reason why people still like to read it. It's a genuinely good, funny, and thoughtful discussion of the social mores of the time.
Yes! It is satire and makes me giggle all the way through. One of my favorite books.
