A Little R&R with P&P
I’m continuing my weekend of complete laziness by watching even more TV. At 5pm I came across the recent version of Pride & Prejudice. I’ve already seen it, but there didn’t seem to be anything else on. Within minutes, my love for all things Pride & Prejudice was renewed. After I finished the movie, I broke out my DVDs of the BBC TV miniseries version which I am now watching.
I still prefer the BBC version, but the Keira Knightley version grew on me upon second watching. The key is the Mr. Darcy comparison. (See the Battle of The Mr. Darcys!). The Firth Darcy is more confident while the Macfadyen Darcy is much more vulnerable. Both are extremely good looking so no complaining there.
I do have an unread Jane Austen book in my room (Emma, I think) so perhaps I will start reading that soon.
I’m not a big fan of Keira Knightley, but I really liked the P&P version she’s in. Probably because of Mr. Darcy’s blue eyes. I’ve never seen the BBC version, though. Have you read many books by Jane Austen? Honestly, I haven’t read any of them. Maybe because I did AMERICAN literature at uni.

I’ve read a few: Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, and Persuasion. I have Emma, but haven’t read it yet.
