After P&P though, all other Austen books might not seem as good. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197838969034724889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552088204667121434.post-77934822846893399692010-08-23T08:15:10.044+08:002010-08-23T08:15:10.044+08:00I have only read Pride and Prejudice before so I a...I have only read Pride and Prejudice before so I am not sure about the recycling of plots.

Otherwise I would suggest Emma - its hilariousRebecca Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144719070318640603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552088204667121434.post-55412066704710436682010-08-22T09:08:50.892+08:002010-08-22T09:08:50.892+08:00Love the review - and the voice that comes through...Love the review - and the voice that comes through. It pleasantly surprises me that you read it all in the space of two days. I imagine Austen is hard to read (because of the old English), and that's why I haven't attempted it yet.
