I first read Pride and Prejudice when I was in high school and did not like it at all. Despite being "advanced" in reading and vocabulary, I did not understand the social mores of that time period, nor did I get all the amazing humour in Austen's writing, until I read it again in my early 20s. Now I consider it one of the most clever novels ever written.

a similar thing happened to me, I truly didn’t get it at all when I read it at 16, and my experience reading it now was vastly superior
