penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

This book is a womans answer to the world cup! The characters are superb and the style evermore apparent in todays world as when it was orginally penned by Jane. The passion that is felt and especially seen with both the BBC adaptation and the big screen verion, just takes your breath away.

It withstands the passing of time and remains a favourite. Even when I've read it so many times I know whole passages off by heart, it continues to entertain and amuse.

Austen was a fantastic observer of human nature and character.

An absolutely wonderful book. This is a story about Mr and Mrs Bennett and their daughters, set in the times when it was deemed necessary and economic to marry off your daughters. The way in which the book is written makes it outstanding and the description of Mrs Bennett and her bahaviour is really amusing. In fact, you feel embarassed for her poor daughters. The main character is Elizabeth Bennett, who falls madly in love with a handsome, dashing character who is also extemely rich. He though, makes some very snobbish remarks and seems very class predjudiced. In her pride, Elizabeth turns down his proposal. All is well at the nail biting end though, and they live happily ever after! Such a classic book.

The best comfort read - P&P, a bath and a huge bar of Galaxy - a perfect evening.
