Pride and Prejudice

I'm going a bit backwards on the logs of I have read recently.

This book title, I believe to have come across a few time reading other books before. Not to mention of it being in a movie. I've tried to watch before but never really got everything from start to finish. If I do remember it well, I was finally able to read this at a local library. Unfortunately, I had this impression that it was a condensed version.

When I first try to start the ebook, I almost backed off thinking that it looks so familiar that I might find it boring coz I've "read" it somewhere already. Nonetheless, with my hubby's prodding, as well as there wasn't much other choice availabe on the reader at that time, I started it. I can't remeber around what chapter was I when I felt that I have finish it even though I already know how the story will go. I found myself enjoying each page. Some part, I had to compromise on listeninng to the audio version. Nevertheless, I started and really ended it with "reading."

Going beyond the romantic hook of the story, I believe that it does also have other implications in life. A very nice choice of title. Pride and Prejudice. People really tend to have prejudicisms even unconsciously. It might be quite "immoral" to admit to have prejudice on something or someone but human may find himself a prey to this every now and then. As for pride, I think it's a given trait of human. Only, some can be very obvious while some are a bit inconspicuous.

Should I still give a background of the story? I believe not. This is a very popular one and any try on my part might not just do justice. I might even get sued. :)
