Pride & Prejudice (2005) Blog

I've always (or rather mostly) either read or hear a P&P reference in other non- P&P books , in movies , magazines , reviews , or celebrities mentioning Pride and Prejudice / Jane Austen . I thought I'd post here about P&P , the most popular Jane Austen novel , the miniseries , P&P (2005) movie or any of the P&P characters (ie. Elizabeth & Darcy ) that were referenced a lot in books, magazines, movies, reviews, etc... Here are just some of the many references I've compiled here to share with you all, which I've actually first posted here . If you have any to share. Feel free to comment and post here as well. I'd love to add them here. Thanks in advance. P&P/Jane Austen in popular Books (mostly the ones I've read anyway...)
