i think its kinda cute that anglos think the first line of pride and prejudice is the greatest thing on earth like. i mean it's a pretty good line to set the stage for what you're going to be reading about and i'm sure its staying power speaks to its favour but. forget about what the actual book is and what it means for a second just think about that first line in abstract. it is. mediocre.
