I haven't re-read this story in a couple years. It's always been one of my favorites and this time I listened to the audiobook recorded by Rosamund Pike available on audible. If you have audible, I highly recommend this version of the audiobook. She is absolutely fantastic as the voice actor, and afterwards I saw that she also narrates Sense and Sensibility...so I may be re-reading that one next month.

I know this story so well, but it doesn't change my enjoyment of it, no matter how many times I consume it. This includes miniseries, movies, webseries, etc. It will always be one of my favorite things. In fact, I would say that if you are someone who wants to experience this story but the idea of classics scares you, watch an adaptation first. Then when you do pick up the book you will have a better idea of what the story is. That being said, I find this easy to follow, but perhaps that is because I've read it several times and watched 101382 adaptations...no regrets.
