I wanted my first book review to be a novel I, and many others, have a high regard for. With the opening line, ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife’ being one of the most famous in English literature, I present to you... Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. I recently finished reading this classic and honestly did not want it to end. Sometimes I cannot see why some novels are classics (don't tell my English teacher) but with its wonderful balance of romance, wit, humour, drama and controversy, Pride and Prejudice truly fits the bill.

A Mundane Introduction
Firstly, welcome to my blog!
I have been debating whether to start a blog
for a while now and after my failed attempt at a photography blog, I simply
stuck to Flickr. However, I have a renewed sense of spirit (as everyone seems
to be blogging at the moment) and shall accept this challenge.
I aim to make this blog primarily about books
but will most probably post some of my writing, photography and maybe even
travel. The world of blogging is my oyster.
Seeing as I aim to study English Literature
at university, writing a blog should, in theory, develop my style and
techniques whilst endeavouring to make my posts as aesthetically pleasing as
possible.
(I tried to use as many big words as possible
to make it seem like I know what I am doing)
(I don’t)
