Egotism and Foregone Conclusions

Having picked up my copy of the Penguin classic, Pride and Prejudice, at Terminal 5, I'm coming to realise that it was perhaps a bit foolish of me to begin this challenge whilst experiencing the delights of Europe. 

Thus far I am enjoying the read and find it notable that social class has long had an effect on one's perceptions of others. I feel that I am experiencing deja vu when reading this story, but it must be due to the widespread knowledge of this famous story and many way it may have entered my psyche over the years. My favourite phrase so far has been, "Keep your breath to cool your porridge," a real insult in those days I can imagine... 

I'm already behind schedule, having only read 73 pages! Onwards and upwards!
