What is the best Jane Austen book to read first? I’ve never read any of her works before and I’m looking for one that’s easiest to understand with the most engaging plot, preferably on the shorter side. Thanks!

I would say Pride and Prejudice is the easiest to understand. It’s one is my favorites!

Pride and Prejudice!
Sense and Sensibility was my favorite Jane Austen book, and I found it less confusing, so I'd say start with that!!!
I've only read Pride and Prejudice and it was really hard (it took me 2 weeks to read. I wasn't reading another book at the same time either). But I enjoyed it
Ohh ok cool! That’s what I’m worried will happen with me lol
Pride and prejudice is my favorite and the easiest to understand but idk if you want to read the best one first. I also like Mansfield park
Thanks girl! That’s helpful!
Everyone here is says P&P or S&S… am I the only one who think Persuasion is literally perfect and super easy to read (after chapter 1… for some reason it starts off a little rough to read)? Like… it’s my favorite by far and definitely the shortest. Plus the main character is quite likable and easy to sympathize with. Theres so much I love abt persuasion!
Ooh that really hooked me!!
I’ve only read one: pride and prejudice but it was awesome! Would totally recommend
I never finished Pride and Prejudice, but it would be good to read. Also been wanting to read Emma, too!
Thanks for the info! Same!
