Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. Again.
My eldest child is reading it for their summer reading assignment. I love this book. They absolutely hate it and do NOT want to talk about it with me.

Get them to watch the BBC series with Colin firth. That will change their minds.

After reading the book they have zero interest in watching the miniseries, movie, or any other adaptations out there.

Well they are missing out. Put it on next time they are around

Hated the book. My aunt lent it to me. Watched the series. Re re-read the book completely different

I know they're missing out. I'll give it some time. If I put it on now they'll just run out of the room.
Maybe if they made it into an anime cartoon they'd give it a go...

No Colin Firth in a wet shirt will never ever be upt

You could always try the film Bride and Prejudice, which is a fun Bollywood take on it.

I was given it as a child, along with a couple of others. As much of an avid reader as I was, this was too 'old' and I couldn't get into it. I didn't learn how to appreciate classics until GCSE's and English Lit at A level.

I think children should always be led into reading classics sideways, not head on.

I thought of this after I’d given you the other recommendations and decided to just jet it go

Is it going to be too bloody & military-ish for me? So far it’s not bad, though it’s a little slow

I bounced off it twice (but both times it was a library borrow and I got busy before I could find time to read it) I agree it was slow but it gets such good reviews. And I think @DannieB liked it.

It’s actually still sitting right next to me on my night stand I will say it came highly recommended by my mother but it is such a slow start and I ended getting caught up in two other reads with my children that I don’t delve into it as much as I tell myself I will

 

[Wand3rlust]

Ok I started reading the above post, and forgot what thread it was, and for a moment, thought it was the sex toys review thread, and I was SO confused!!

I'm very relieved now.

The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia

@BaldAndHorny I'm just over halfway through with this and I can't help but think you'd like it. It's a good and proper "wth is going on here?!"

Amazing book, way better than the film

Books

Hub pointed me to the book but he suggested I avoid the film, which I did.

In my opinion books usually are much better than a cinematic version.
