Emmy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I just finished Pride and Prejudice (my first time reading it) and I loved it. What Austen book would you recommend next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Persuasion is my favorite, even over P&P. And then Mansfield Park. Enjoy! Jami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I would say, any of them. They are all so good in their own way. I love Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, and Emma the best (after P&P, of course). I would start there. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Sense and Sensibility is great. I kept wanting to slap some sense into Emma though. She drove me crazy with all her meddling. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forty-two Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 P&P is my favorite, and I'd say that Persuasion is my second favorite. I re-read Sense & Sensibility recently, and I enjoyed it so much more at 27 than at 17! Emma is probably next, though Mansfield Park is good, too. Northanger Abbey is probably my least favorite, but I still enjoy it. Really, they are all worth reading =). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisawa Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Persuasion is my favorite, even over P&P. And then Mansfield Park. Enjoy! Jami :iagree: :iagree: This would be a close second... but then sense and sensability was good. *Ü* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay in Cal Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Lol! Such different opinions, even from Austen-philes. I happen to LOVE Emma, then Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion would be next for me. Oh, to be reading them for the first time again.... sigh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutmeg Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well, just to spread the love around :D, Northanger Abbey is my favorite after PP. But I do love them all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACEmom Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 :iagree: They're all wonderful! My daughter is reading Sense and Sensibility now. She started with P & P and then read Emma. Next on her list is Persuasion (my personal favorite AFTER P &P!). She's enjoying them all, but says that Emma is her favorite so far! You can't go wrong....all of them are a treat!

Tonia Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well, just to spread the love around :D, Northanger Abbey is my favorite after PP. But I do love them all.... Same here - Northanger Abbey after PP, then (in order of favorites) Persuasion, S&S, Mansfield Park, and Emma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSICAinMD Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I love Emma! I don't think you can go wrong with any of her books though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in TX Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 You think we had different opinions about the books, just mention the movies! There are lots of good versions of each, for after you have enjoyed the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
