Reading Jane Austen

Filed Under Just Curious 

Last year I asked if you have ever read a book by Jane Austen? And I’m going to ask again, due to the fact that I’m in the process of reading (by audiobook) Pride & Prejudice, my very first Jane Austen book. So, have you?

    i’ve read all of them, there’s one that is very dark and almost disturbing, i love all of them, P&P is one of my favs, but i love emma even more.

    I must admit that I have never read a Jane Austen, though I have just started “Pride & Prejudice.”

    yes, I’ve read several of her books. It’s kinda required when you earn a BA in English Literature lol

    Put it this way, I almost didn’t read this little post of yours to completion because it had the name Jane Austen in it.

    I have read all 7 of Jane Austen’s novels. I don’t like Northanger Abbey and have only read it once. Emma is certainly not a favorite, either, but I’ve read it several times. The rest I read regularly. My husband thinks I never read any other books.

    English major here, too.

    Not only have I read them all, multiple times, I actually took a course in college just on Jane Austen’s books.

    Interestingly, the books I thought I liked less in high school and college (Persuasion, Emma, Northanger Abby) have become much more appealing as I’ve matured.

    I am about half way through P&P, and I am enjoying it very much. Is it cheating that I had to find a character list/map as to keep who everyone is straight? And I read the Cliff Notes too.
