Pride and Prejudice is a heartwarming classic about human folly and the roll it plays. Elizabeth Bennett is a wonderfully complex character whose equal has not been created. And Mr. Darcy is an irresistible man who you despise for several chapters and then slowly learn what he is really about. There are so many twists and turns of the plot that sometimes your mind spins with the possiblities. If you've seen a movie version, none of them really captures the book (the only close one is the 6-part miniseries by BBC / A&E). You must read it to get the full sense of the beauty, strife, and emotion that Jane Austen created.
