After catching my breath from the all too loud gasp at just discovering my latest and greatest treasure, I hurried on and purchased this bad boy in hopes that I could round up my delightful summer underneath the shade of a tree reading about Elizabeth, Darcy, and all the other fantastic characters that Miss Austen wrote about. After all, she said,"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library"( Pride and Prejudice, 1811).
