▾Recommendations LibraryThing recommendationsMember recommendations- Shuffy2 recommends Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare, "Beatrice and Benedick & Lizzie and Darcy- there are some similarties! This is my favorite of Shakespeare's comedies! Two characters who love to spar with (see more) words, 2 couples who love each other, and a bad guy! Perfect mix..."
- Julie-Beacon recommends Finding Creatures & Other Stories by C. June Wolf, "These two books are on opposite sides of the same circle. One is a novel, the other is a collection of short stories; one is a period piece, the other (see more) (see more) spans time into the future; one is a romance, the other is eclectic, even wacky. The similarity is introspection and a love of narrative and language. "Finding Creatures" is highly recommended for those readers who like to reflect on what they read instead of racing through the pages."
- lydiabarr recommends Diary of a Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield, "Austen and Delafield are often compared...both have shrewdly observational sense of humor and an elaborately deadpan style. I love them both."
- amanaceerdh recommends Excellent Women by Barbara Pym
- amanaceerdh recommends Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
- Shuffy2 recommends North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, "Mr. Darcy and Mr. Thornton are both of the same cloth, a love story you can really sink into!"
- Bonzer recommends Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
- ysar recommends Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley by Linda Berdoll
- aynar recommends The Making of Pride and Prejudice (BBC) by Sue Birtwistle
- chrisharpe recommends Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell, "Both novels offer a similar sort of wry look at the foibles of the English classes in the 18th / 19th centuries. Both are so carefully observed and deliciously (see more) written that they remain classics."

|
| First words |
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.  | |
|
| Quotations |
The power of doing anything with quickness is always prized much by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance. Do not be afraid of my running into any excess, of my encroaching on your privilege of universal good will. You need not. There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of either merit or sense. | |
|
| Last words |
Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |

▾Book descriptions Amazon.com (ISBN 0553213105, Mass Market Paperback)
Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect Austen heroine: intelligent, generous, sensible, incapable of jealousy or any other major sin. That makes her sound like an insufferable goody-goody, but the truth is she's a completely hip character, who if provoked is not above skewering her antagonist with a piece of her exceptionally sharp -- but always polite -- 18th century wit. The point is, you spend the whole book absolutely fixated on the critical question: will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy hook up?
