i like Emma... she matures in grace... she does not stay the same... Northhanger Abby... i read that too... Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park... i enjoyed all of them... but Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are my favorites... then Emma... love that Emma!

I'll give Emma another try then. I like Austen better when her central character is a better person (Elinor Dashwood, Anne Elliot) and the satellite characters are the foolish ones. Emma and Catherine Morland make me want to shake them silly!
I love Anne Elliot and wish I could invite her and her husband to tea.
