2nd attempt

I am so excited to join this "book club", especially since it's a book that, as I told Emery, I started several months ago but like most things in my life I didn't finish and now it sits collecting dust on my nightstand. But this morning as I raced out the door to work I grabbed it thinking I could read on my lunch break. See, you all are holding me accountable and you don't even know me!

I am one of those sad shmucks who saw the movie and became obsessed with the story. I can't help it, I love a good chick flick. Which is why I bought the book, knowing that there just had to be more information than was given in what I like to call the "Cliff's Note Version" of Pride and Prejudice. If you haven't seen the latest Kiera Knightly version, wait until you finish the book. It is a beautiful film from top to bottom. Beautiful scenery, score and cast. But for example, when I first picked up the book I was confused. There are actually TWO Bingley sisters. Caroline, also known as Miss Bingley. And Louisa Hurst, or Mrs. Hurst. The movie only features Caroline, the pompous red head that we love to loath.

Hey could we do a movie night after this is all over and then compare/contrast how much we love/hate the movie?
