I haven’t read either and don’t plan to. Aren’t these both movies now?

While both 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'The Great Gatsby' are classified under the broad category of romance on Audible, they belong to very different genres. For me, 'Pride and Prejudice' stands out as a timeless classic in the romance genre. I've read it multiple times and have enjoyed exploring the nuances of its characters, the societal commentary, and the wit that Jane Austen brings to the narrative. Additionally, I've watched nearly all the various movie adaptations, finding each interpretation fascinating.

On the other hand, 'The Great Gatsby' left a different impression. I read it once, initially intrigued by the hype surrounding it as a romance novel. However, my experience differed from the expectations. The novel, in my view, is more about the American Dream, delving into the complexities of wealth and societal values. While it's a compelling work with its own merits, I found it to be more of a commentary on the Jazz Age than a traditional romance.

In a scenario where I have to choose between the two, I'd undoubtedly go with 'Pride and Prejudice.' Its timeless appeal and exploration of love within the social context resonate more with my personal preferences in the romance genre.

Pride and Prejudice vs The Great Gatsby may feel a bit formulaic, ticking off a lot of the hallmarks of contemporary fiction as it goes, but at its heart this novel really is something altogether more charming. There’s an inspiring message underlining this story, and a reminder to challenge yourself and embrace new opportunities wherever possible. It’s a lovely message, and it’s one that’s made a lot more effective when it’s told with a likeable character in such a warm, easy package.

Pride and Prejudice will always have my vote because I simply can't get enough of the book—I've lost count of how many times I've read it again because it never gets old.

I never liked Gatsby. I listened to it on audiobook and I still couldn't get into it. I love Pride and Prejudice though. Gatsby just didn't have enough romance in it for me, but I'm like that with a lot of the classics.

I prefer Gatsby over Pride and prejudice. The Great Gatsby is a book I will still recommend to my kids to read and learn all the book have taught me.
