So, I own all these beautiful editions of Jane Austen’s novels… and I have never read them. I bought them last year when a friend made me promise that I would read Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion… I am yet to fulfill that promise.
Which Austen novel is your favourite? Which do you think is the best starting point?
Read the Bloody Book 
I’ve only ever read Pride and Prejudice! All the others are on my TBR shelf. But I did love that one and so many people start with it 🙂

My favorite is Northanger Abbey. It was the first one she wrote. I would probably start reading Sense and Sensibility, though. I think that gives a better sense of her writing overall.

Sense and sensibility huh? I know practically nothing about Northanger Abbey.

Thanks. I was expecting everyone to say persuasion or pride and prejudice.

I was thinking of starting with P&P. I will have to read it soon.

Persuasion, P&P or Emma but not Mansfield Park would be my suggestions

thanks for the recommendations 🙂 I think P&P seems to be most peoples’ suggestion.
