I’m reading “Pride and prejudice” and I’m strangely enjoying it. I like the characters and the story, I’m really hooked with the book, but I don’t really know why it is so interesting and how Austen makes me feel interested in a book that, maybe just in the surface, is so mundane.

In the past, I also read “Sense and sensibility” for University and I also enjoyed it very much.

How do you think Austen makes this? How does she make a realistic and simple book so interesting in its story and its characters?

    She’s such a good writer her books are still wildly beloved a century later. It’s a bigger question why you’re so surprised you like them.
