Really enjoying this book, but being a blog slacker !

Hi all
Sorry I haven't posted at all. I'm really enjoying this book. I do find myself delighting in Mr. Bennett's sarcasm, and how literally nutty Mrs. Bennett is. And a bit thankful I don't have go play cards, recite literature, and learn the piano to be a "good catch". But truthfully, we probably have just different ways of "promoting" ourselves these days.

I do wonder if Mr. Bennett's commentary is Jane Austen's vehicle for getting her opinions out or if she is more like Elizabeth. The story has make me think a lot about Jane Austen.

Mr. Darcy is likable even with his brash first, second and third impressions.

I haven't quite caught up on all the reading but plan to do so this week!
