Yes, reading ALL of Austen is a project we can agree on!
I was (unwillingly!) introduced to Austen my senior year in college--there was a prof I liked whom I'd never had a class with, and her fall elective conflicted with something I needed, so I had to take her spring elective, which was Jane Austen and Film. We read S&S, P&P, and Emma, and watched the major corresponding films, and I ended up adoring the class, the prof, and Austen herself. The following summer I made a project of watching other Austen film adaptations (and writing indignantly to my prof about everything they got wrong!), and reading all of Austen's other work. So I was very excited to see lady_anemone's post here! :)
