Pride and Prejudice ~ by Jane Austen



'Pride and Prejudice' is credited as being one of the most romantic books of all time.  But is it?  There is so much talk of money, property and what people are worth, that marrying for love alone, is rarely something ever considered by the sensible characters in Austen's novel.  What do you think?
