Five Reasons boys should read Pride and Predjudice.

1. Bingly and Mr. Darcy (for the second part of the book) are excellent role models for young men.
2. In an age where young people are told to "follow your heart" and that "love will conquer all", Pride and Predjudice shows the pain that is caused by a young man taking advantage of a young woman and doing things that should wait until after marriage.
3.In an age where chivalry, and good manners in general are dying, it is good to be reminded how people ought to behave.
4. It demonstrates how not to behave, in the person of Mr. Collins especially.
5. It is a wonderful book, and that should be reason enough.
