I finished reading "Lady Susan" and I liked it. I am planning on reading "Pride and Prejudice".

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favourites! After it I recommend you Emma and Sense and Sensibility.

No, but it's on my list. Is it good?

Yes !!! I really liked it ( more than P and P , I'm sorry to say this). There are some portions that I believe will be universally loved by everyone , but some portions are ... not that good , atleast from the perspective of the characters' personalities . But those didn't bother me that much so I found myself really enjoying every bit of it.

I really want to read Emma.I've heard so many people raving on and on about it. Is it really that good?

I really want to like Jane Austen, but classics are almost always a miss for me. :( I tried reading P&P, but it wasn’t working, so I DNF’ed it. I’ll probably return to it later, but I’m bummed that I didn’t like it more.

I usually have no problem reading classics in general, but Jane Austen is just not my cup of tea ig.. Like I really wanted to like P&P but it was a huge let down , so ig I had really low expectations from Northanger Abbey. But it surpassed those expectations...😄

I liked it, she's an iconic and feminist character, and Mr Knightley is one of my favourite male characters from her novels.

Ig my tbr list has been increased by one additional book ;)

I read Pride and Prejudice, and while I liked the premise and most of the book, it felt a little drawn out. Jane Austen though, was a pioneer for novelist, and her stories promted many spinoffs, so I cant help but like her stuff

me too hahah I'm missing just those two I asked you about :)

Aghh! I LOVE JANE AUSTEN!!!!!

I've read all the novels except Persuasion

my favorite book is probably Emma

my favorite heroine is probably Lizzy Bennet

my favorite hero is either Mr. Knightley or Henry Tilney.

I've read Pride & Prejudice and Emma, but I wasn't a huge fan of either of them because I'm not a huge fan of Jane Austen's writing style.

Yeah, that's me. :(

Although it's not just limited to Jane Austen — I'm just not a huge fan of the way classics are written
