And now - for something completely different.

I'm a German native speaker, but for about 25 years I read books in English, if that's the original language.

So far I've mostly stuck to "modern" books - but now I took on "Pride and Predjudice". Oh my, English has certainly changed a lot in the last 200 years. (Not that I should be surprised, reading German literature from 200 years ago is also difficult).

I've more of Austen's books, but I think I need a break.

Has anyone heard of the game "Jane Austen's 8-bit Adventure?" Just came out yesterday on Steam.

It's only $10 so I may dig into it and do a review. Would love to hear if anyone has bought it yet!

I like Pride & Prejudice (2005) but you know what movie (and book) is better? Emma (2020). Mr. Knightley is Jane Austen's best guy! Mr. Darcy sucks, I'm Mr. Knightley's biggest fan
