8 Books Every Pride and Prejudice Fan Should Read

Start with the classic Pride and Prejudice and fall in love with Jane Austen all over again. Plus, rereading the original will make reading the modern versions that much more fun.

A thoroughly modern take on the original, where Elizabeth is a magazine writer, Jane is a yoga instructor, and Bingley is fresh off a stint on the Bachelor-esque reality show, Eligible. Sittenfeld's Eligible is an un-put-down-able retelling of the beloved classic.

Do you like your Liz Bennet to be an utterly hilarious, completely lovable, hard-drinking, chain-smoking single woman in London? Bridget Jones's Diary is a chick-lit classic that you'll want to read over and over again.

A gender-bendy take on the classic. Here, Darcy is the same as we've come to know him: rich, proud, disapproving, standoffish. Only catch? He is a she in Prejudice & Pride, a clever and funny mashup of regency romance and chick lit.

In Longbourn by Jo Baker, the servants of the estate take center stage. In this vivid reimagining of the classic, love stories and clashes over class status abound, bringing light to the characters you never knew before.

Do you like your Pride and Prejudice to include a supernatural element? Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has got you covered. A mashup of the original P&P and a zombie apocalypse. After all, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

Did you love Pride and Prejudice, but wish that it were a murder mystery instead? Death Comes to Pemberley takes place six years after the marriage of Elizabeth and Darcy, as Elizabeth's disgraced sister, Lydia, shows up on their doorstep, screaming that her husband, Wickham, has been murdered. Admit it, you'll read it just because Wickham got his due.

Do you love Pride and Prejudice so much that you wish you could just leap into its pages? In Austenland, Jane is similarly obsessed (with Colin Firth from the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice). When she gets the chance to visit an English resort for Austen-obsessed women, she sets off to find a Darcy of her own.
