Arrivederci, Darcy
Our book club is discussing Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice this coming Saturday.
It's Wednesday today, and I've only read less than 10% of it - oh, probably around Chapter 8 or 9, I think? I can't remember, honestly. I've had it loaded into Candy the Kindle for some weeks now, preparing for Saturday's discussion, but then I had to prioritize rereading The Historian for my F2F on November because it'sa bit longer than the previous books we've been reading for the monthly discussions. I actually started reading Pride and Prejudice last Monday, hoping I could (miraculously) finish it in 5 days, but after the hefty effort of reading just the first parts, I decided to abandon reading it entirely.
Or, I could pick it up and finish it after my F2F for The Historian.
Yes, I am still attending Saturday's discussion.
How am I going to cope or, at least, relate to the discussion proper? I am currently downloading the 2005 movie adaptation starring Keira Knightley, as I don't have the luxury of time anymore to get the BBC adaptation. I know, I know - it's only substantial compliance, and I feel a teeny bitty guilty about not having read the book prior to attending a discussion. But surely, I can be forgiven, as I have a valid reason for prioritizing another book, yes?

I promise to pick up P&P soon, though. I hate not finishing books!
TINA: Heeeee. See you on Saturday! :)
Too bad I can't be there for The Historian F2F. :(
