I've seen several film adaptations (Kiera Knightly version, Colin Firth version), even a Bollywood version called "Bride and Prejudice" (even though it's in English, you can watch it as a way to dip your toes into the Indian cinema waters), but I never read the novel before. I'm getting a lot of additional information about the characters and their motivations that I didn't necessarily catch while watching and eating popcorn. Once you get used to the style that Austen wrote in (it was written 1813, just after "Sense and Sensibility"), you can appreciate a lot of the subtle (and not-so-subtle) humor she injects into her work. Couldn't find a copy on the shelf at Northeast Regional Library, so I got a copy from UNC Davis.
