My family and I just took a long car-trip, and listened to Pride and Prejudice on the ways there and back. We listened to Craft Lit's version, Chapter one of Pride and Prejudice
which is perfectly awesome - the host, Heather Ordover, is a literature teacher, and she really does an excellent job presenting each chapter. She tells the modern reader about things which were common in the time of Austen, but which we don't know too much about today - customs, laws, terms, and other little tid-bits which make the book so much more enjoyable. It makes a good book all the more enjoyable to know these little things.
