Mid-Week Story Break

In this twilight downtime for so many (and frantic work pace of others) many celebrities have taken it upon themselves to help entertain us no-longer-hopefully huddled masses. One of my favorites is the ultra-meta reading Jennfier Ehle (who truth be told I far too often confuse with Miranda Otto – but then lament that neither has landed more consistently strong roles in Hollywood) does of Jane Austen’s “Pride & Prejudice.” This compilation is the first part, and then chapters 10 to 21 are on her Instagram right now. In case, you know, you needed the actress who played Elizabeth Bennet in the acclaimed 1995 BBC miniseries of “Pride and Prejudice” to read you the whole darn book to you. Again, only if you’re into that sort of thing. Happy April, kittens, may it have no cruel jokes for us.
