Friday 56: Pride and Prejudice

This is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice.
These are the rules:
1. Grab a book, any book.
2. Turn to page 56, or 56% on your eReader.
3. Find any sentence (or a few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.
4. Post it.
5. Add the URL to your post in the link on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post.
Pride and Prejudice paperback book page 56:

During dinner Mr. Bennet scarcely spoke at all; but when the servants were withdrawn, he thought it time to have some conversation with his guest, and therefore started a subject in which he expected him to shine, by observing that he seemed very fortunate in his patroness.

    Mr. Collins? I am such a Austen fan I was surprised I wasn't familiar with this quote.
    Are you participating in the Austen in August Challenge?

      I am not, it was the first book I grabbed off the shelf last night. Just a random coincidence.

    I read this eons ago. At the time, I wasn't much of an Austen fan. I should pick up something of hers now.

    My Friday 56 is from The Opposite of Loneliness: http://www.foofynotfoofy.com/foofynotfoofy/2015/8/14/the-friday-56-the-opposite-of-loneliness-by-marina-keegan

    I have never read this book. I've started it a few times but given up part way through. This week I am spotlighting Dragonseye by Anne McCaffrey which has been living on TBR mountain forever. Happy reading!

      I am jealous I wish I had enough space to have several copies of books so I did not have to hunt for them either.

    Big mistake on Mr. Bennet's part. Now he's going to listen to Mr. Collins bumble on for an hour!

    I think I would like to hide behind something when I say I have not read this book...yet. (I did, however, see the "Wishbone" version on PBS.)

      Wishbone is the best, the show inspired me to read many classics when I was younger.

    Seeing this is yet another reminder that I need to pick up more classics, this one is definitely on my list.
