I guess Lady_Anemone will just have to read ALL of Jane Austen and tell us what she likes best. :-)
I don't think there are any BAD Austen books, so she can just pick one at random and have a good time. Except, as you rightly note, for "Northanger Abbey," which is a spoof of old novels and so is much more fun if you're familiar with what it's spoofing.
It's nice to know that there are other Austen readers out there, even if we disagree on which of her books we like best.
