Austen

What's a good second Jane Austen book to read?

I read Pride and Prejudice first.

I picked up some beach reading for our trip to Maine. I suspect that Tanner on Ice won't even make it to the beach. Lawrence Block, how I love your funny mysteries!

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! :)
