Which still has the same stylistic quirks that I find odd and sometimes annoying, but at least things happen, which is more than I can say for Persuasion (I got halfway ... It depends.
I'm currently reading (or trying to) all the books of Jane Austen, and there are words that I do rather wish were changed to match what is meant, since the meaning of certain words has changed over the years. The editions I own have footnotes with the actual meanings (for example, ... The last templar is being returned to it's owner

... I just got a really nice book at Barnes&Noble yesterday. Their new Jane Austen: Seven Novels. It's leatherbound, but the cover detail is beautiful, and for only $20 I couldn't pass it up.

So far, I've only read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey. :) Definitely Pride and Prejudice and Emma by Jane Austen and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. I would also love to jump into any of the Thursday Next books, any of the Redwall books (for the food!), and just about any horse book I read as a kid :)
Would it work with ... 32. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin ... a little dull. It was so predictable! And none of the characters interested me. I don't think I'll be reading it again.
