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.
