55. Emma by Jane Austen I did not enjoy Sense and Sensibility when I read it earlier this year, so I wasn't expecting to like Emma. I loved it! I especially liked seeing Emma grow up and mature, and the secondary characters (Mr. Woodhouse, Miss Bates, etc.).

I've read 61 from the list so far this year. My favorites (in no particular order) were: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (re-read) The Sea by John Banville Reg ...

You can't go wrong with Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility. I am yet to read Mansfield Park myself! And Northanger Abbey is silly fun. Not her best, but amusing stuff. Oh dear. Did I just recommend them all?? I'm still going slowly on London Orbital. Finding ...

... but I studied it at uni with a fabulous professor. I know a lot of people don't like that one. Personally I really like Sense and Sensibility. But if you're well-read in the Gothic, I'd say go ahead with Northanger Abbey. It's quite charming, but Austen was very young and sheltered when ...

... not her best work. Pride and Prejudice is of course the best known and most-widely loved. I personally am partial to Sense and Sensibility. I think Mansfield Park is her masterpiece, but it's difficult, and the protagonist is difficult to like. It's the longest and most complex, so ...

... I even broke my no TV/movie adaptations and audio books rule for them. But I've never felt the urge to re-read Emma or Sense and Sensibility. I didn't hate or love these two. I just felt nothing. But now that you say that you like Emma better the second time around, I'm thinking maybe I'll ...

I read my 100th last year and made sure it was a goodie--in my case, Sense and Sensibility. My 150th book won't be up for a year or so, but, yeah, I'll probably make it a memorable one too. Completely meaningless, I know, but it's fun to do that.

My list: January: fiction: Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay (love every single one of his) February: fiction: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen nonfiction: The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton March: fiction: Going Postal by Terry Pratchett nonfiction: That Went Well by Terrel ...

Hi, Wookie - Glad that you enjoyed Sense and Sensibility so much after the "junk food" diet of the previous book. Sometimes dystopia just doesn't do it for me either, so I will pass on Blindness also, and plan to enjoy something from the glittering wealth of my shelves here at home that ...

... Girl on Legare Street for review later this month. I'm also nearing the end of both Shelf Discovery and the audio of Sense and Sensibility. I'm thinking about starting Cranioklepty tonight, but I think I need to finish Shelf Discovery first.

... night so as to catch up to the group read. I'm also still picking up Shelf Discovery here and there and listening to Sense and Sensibility in preparation to read Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.

I read seven books in the last week, so I now have 52 books read, 29 to go. The books I read in the past week are: Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen Ethan of Athos by Lois McMaster Bujold Firedrake's Eye by Patricia Finney The Ladies of Missalonghi by Colleen McCullou ...

... For those who are reading them, it's their own choice. To each his/her own. For me the original Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are good enough, thank you very much!

11-4-09 #38 Sense and Sensiblity Jane Austen 4 stars In typical Austen style, Sense and Sensibility begins with numerous characters being thrown out at the reader and many names and connections need to be digested and remembered. Somehow in all of the near confusion characters named Elino ...

... it was not only my first Austen, but my first real "Classic" too, when I was 14 or 15. Persuasion is my #2, followed by Sense and Sensibility and Northanger Abbey. Emma and Mansfield Park are on my list for next year. I also really love Lady Susan, which I read for a Romantics ...

I did't like Sense and Sensibility, but do like Pride and Prejudice. I think it will be a one hit wonder, I like the novelty but that's as far as it swings for me.

I'm currently in England with Sense and Sensibility, and occasionally in New Orleans with Ignatius J Reilly in A Confederacy of Dunces.

... of boredom at the beginning of the book. (I'm seriously hoping you're not very far in, as yet. :) Still really enjoying Sense and Sensibility - I can't remember the book at all but I remember the end of the movie, so I know they both end up happily married, but I have no idea how they' ...

Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen I know. Who would have thought that I haven't read Sense and Sensibility? Not me, because I've read "Jane Austen," and I own the DVD and have seen it at least four times. But yet, this wasn't one of the titles I've read, and somehow I thought this was the ...

What: Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen Why: Because it seems like a nice holiday read, and because I've never read it before (although I've seen the movie many times), and because it's a 1001 book and I need one more for the year, and because I've started it three times this year and ...

Just finished The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and now I'm on to Sense and Sensibility. It's my third attempt to read it this year, and I hope I don't get interrupted this time. I think it will make a nice holiday read.

I finished The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and have picked up Sense and Sensibility for the third time this year. Every time I start it, something more important makes me abandon it. Maybe this time I'll get to finish it. Whichever 1001 book I end up reading, it will be my 100th from the list.

Cool! I'll read it. I finished A Midsummer Night's Dream btw and I just got Sense and Sensibilty I am getting into classics now. Wuthering Heights is a classic and eventually I'll have to study it for English but I've heard that it's a love-hate story with ghastly characters who's love is ...

I guess I'll have to be the loner when I say, though I love shamelessly all of her novels, my least favorite is Sense and Sensibility. This could be, however, that I read it a long time ago and need to give it another go. I probably didn't appreciate Austen's wit and humor then, so I admit, I ...

I've always loved the differences between Elinor and Marianne from Austen's Sense and Sensibility. I imagine that Elinor is an SJ and Marianne is an NF. 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!

For those who are interested, there will be a new version of Sense and Sensibility on PBS starting tonight. I don't know how it can compare to the one staring Trewaley, Umbridge, Pomfrey, and Snape, though. ETA Pomfrey

Happy to see another Austen fan! I have read Pride and Prejudice, as well as Emma, and am reading Sense and Sensibility at the moment. I just received a copy of Northanger Abbey and will read it in the next few months. I am enjoying her work so much I will likely read all of her books.

I just started Sense and Sensibility yesterday. I did not have much time to read and tonight could be more of the same, but even the first few pages have me hooked.

I've just started Sense and Sensibility. I love Jane Austen's work!

I have also just landed in England with Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

When comparing Sense and Sensibility with Pride and Prejudice or Villette to Jane Eyre, it becomes obvious to me why one book in each set is wildly popular on its own whereas the other in the set, while still a classic, probably would not be as well known without the established reputation ...

... as well give Austen another chance. Lo and behold, I adored Pride and Prejudice! The reason I bought P&P as well as Sense and Sensibility was that they were only £1 each in the shop - what bookworm could resist, eh? I watched the TV adaptations that were on a few weeks ago and ...

... Menagerie. Tess of the D'Urbervilles was terribly depressing but very true. The Message in Black Boy pissed me off and A Raison in the Sun was pointless. But nevertheless I am glad I read them.

Right now I'm reading Emma and absolutely loving it. One of my favourite movies of all time is Sense and Sensibility (screenplay by Emma Thompson and starring herself and Kate Winslet). I've seen it about 10 or 11 times. I think seeing the movie first spoiled the book a bit for me, as it would I ...

The first book I read by Jane Austen was Pride and Prejudice, and I just finished Sense and Sensibility yesterday. I think I like "Pride and Prejudice" best of these two. In some ways, the two books reminded me of each other. However, there were times in "Sense and Sensibility" when I was ...

Classic literature gets re-read every couple of years, generally (Sense and Sensibility, for instance, was brought out and dusted down this year, 2004, 2001, 1998...).

The consensus is that individual works should not be combined with anthologies or collections. A copy of Sense and Sensibility is not the same a volume that also contains Persuasion and Lady Susan. Also, be careful when combining "Selected works", "collected works" and the like to ...

Refreshing to see many share my dislike for Hemingway. And while I quite liked Pride and prejudice, Sense and sensibility seemed really shallow and silly. Anyway, I don't like not liking classics. Usually I think there's a reason for these books to have been there for so long, and I feel ...

Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Emma, in that order, I think. Least favourite: Persuasion. I disliked Mansfield Park when studying it (my lecturer and I were the only two who admitted to detesting Fanny Price; everyone else adored her), but can just about stand it now. Scandalo ...

... I think. When I first started reading Jane Austen in my teens it was Northanger Abbey, and then for a while it was Sense and Sensibility, but now it's Emma. As I've grown older I've come to appreciate Mansfield Park more. I used to find it very heavy going.

I'll have to say Pride and Prejudice is my favorite, and I did rather enjoy Emma. I think Sense and Sensibility is my second favorite.

... Park ) but even those I've gained a further appreciation for with time. Most people don't rank as highly but I love Sense and Sensibility just because I love Marianne so much.
