I love Austen! It amazes me how current her characters are - you would never guess how long ago they were written.
Emma is my least favorite. P&P and S&S are my favorites. Northanger Abbey is really funny - IIRC, it was C.S. Lewis' favorite read for when he was sick in bed. Mansfield Park is a little heavy, but interesting. Which one am I missing? *goes to her bookcase* Oh yeah, Persuasion. Kind of slower and heavier, but still very good - you end up really rooting for the heroine.
