I can’t remember how this particular book ends, so I can’t answer for sure if I would change the end, but I need to bring up Pride & Prejudice again. I think I may add it to my list to re-read. I read it in college, exactly once. Being a fan of the movie “You’ve Got Mail” means I’m familiar with the plot despite forgetting most, if not all of the major plot points. Kathleen Kelly is, after all, always in agony over whether Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are truly, honestly going to end up together. And truly, honestly…I can’t remember if they do.
I wrote about this recently because Pride & Prejudice is a book whose hype I just don’t get. However, I was reminded of it, yet again, yesterday during a work meeting. It was my supervisor’s turn to plan the team building activity and she chose to ask all of us what hill we’d die on. She started with her hill. And that hill was that a certain movie version of Pride & Prejudice is better than all the others. I don’t remember the version and it wasn’t the one with Colin Firth because she referenced this version was her favorite despite the one where Colin Firth comes out of a lake? My supervisor was an English major and has many tattoos that are obviously literature related. She has one that is a stack of books with a skull on top and a candle next to it. That is a reference to her love of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
So, Pride & Prejudice has come up yet again. I think I need to re-read it. I just finished reading a book by one of my newest favorite authors, Abby Jimenez. It was a romance, modern, but this one was very much a will they or won’t they type story. From what I gather, Pride & Prejudice is a similar story. I could be wrong. I really don’t remember much about it. It exists in my mind during those two years of college that are mostly gone from my memory. Though, I don’t remember being much impressed by the book back then anyway, so it wouldn’t have stuck very much regardless.
I’ll see about getting a copy and reading it again so I can determine if the ending should have been changed or not.
To be continued…
