I just finished re-reading Sense and Sensibility. This naturally makes me think of all those Jane Austen books I don't have or have never read.

| From Amazon: |
These three short works show Austen experimenting with a variety of different literary styles, from melodrama to satire, and exploring a range of social classes and settings. The early epistolary novel "Lady Susan" depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with the affections of several men. In contrast, "The Watsons" is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine - Emma - finds her marriage opportunities limited by poverty and pride. Meanwhile "Sanditon", set in a seaside resort, offers a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and spectators, treated by Austen with both amusement and scepticism. |
I read Sanditon recently and really enjoyed it, and have been hunting down a finished version. Hope you get to read more Jane Austen soon :)
