As far as introductions go, I think Emma or P&P or Sense and Sensibility -- the three most well-known -- would each be a fine place to start. Each has its own appeal. The others are a bit different -- Northhanger Abbey ... I listened to Sense and Sensibility and it did throw me off when the readers switched around so much.

Also, I'm currently reading Chocolat. I'm certain that Anouk is an NF. Vianne is quite obviously an SP. All food for thought! I have two copies of Sense and Sensibility because I had to get an edition with some specific essays in it for a class. There are quite a few sets and editions of many of her books that I would love to own, but I have to budget my money so carefully right now!

Now I really want to watch Sense and Sensibility. I finished Sense and Sensibility which I loved and started Augustus almost immediately. I'm still on the background portions, but they are engagingly written enough that I'm excited to get further in the story. For those who are interested, there will be a new version of Sense and Sensibility on PBS starting tonight.

Here's my March reads: SENSE AND SENSIBILITY by Jane Austen , THE READING GROUP by Elizabeth Noble , THE EYRE AFFAIR by Jasper Fforde , CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC by Sophie Kinsella #50 I know what you mean foggi, he's older than my dad too, though not by much.

ETA Rissa, my first literary crush was Peter Pan shortly followed by Joe Hardy, ... ... recommend one book read this quarter as "top five" quality:
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
But, I'm reading Sense and Sensibility right now, so hopefully I'll be able to add that to my list. Just started Sense and Sensibility as part of my quest to actually read Jane Austen instead of just moving the book back and forth when I dust and thinking, "Oh, I should read that." |
