Yeah, I love Pride and Prejudice! Read it several times. I think Emma's very good too; I'd say Pride and Prejudice and Emma are her best two books. At least those two are my favourite. Followed by Sense and Sensibility. The other three books are good too but not on the same level as these three. NorthAnger Abbey is pretty satirical; Mansfield Park is slow and, even though I completely empathize with Fanny, she eventually becomes frustrating because she's just toooooo timid; Persuasion is Okay-ish. I remember that the one I had included the two possible endings that Jane Austen wrote. I didn't like how her dad ended up marrying the nanny or whatever that odious woman was. |

She's actually a fascinating writer, if for nothin else but the fact that she never married, she definitely has a way of making that era look so interesting. Also, like in 'The rivals', she never got scared of exploring the different social classes of that period, i heard that stunt was dangerous in her time. |

Sense and Sensibility was also good but Pride and Prejudice remains her best work imo. |
