What’s the Jane Austen News this week?
Forget Books Before You Die, Try Books Before You Wed
There are plenty of lists which lay out which books you need to read before you die, but one the Jane Austen News hasn’t come across before is a list of books to read before your wedding day. However, that’s exactly what we’ve come across this week, and we were very pleased to see that Pride and Prejudice made the list of five must-read books.
The majority of the list was non-fiction books, covering a range of subjects, but Pride and Prejudice was included on the list as it “will help you understand the difference between what’s material and essential in every relationship.”
The full list was:
Mindful Relationship Habits by S. J. Scott and Barrie Davenport – this book describes how to stay connected to your spouse even after being together for a long time.
The Kamasutra by Vatsyayana – tips on how to keep your sexual life varied
Every Woman by Derek Llewellyn-Jones – this book talks about female health issues like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.
It’s Not You, It’s The Dishes by Paula Szuchman and Jenny Anderson – a book highlighting the importance of communication and role-playing.
Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen – a must for so many reasons!
