Hah. Pride and Prejudice wasn't much until she added the zombies.

Truth told, I liked Sense and Sensibility better. Damn, that woman could write!

Pride is my favorite and I laughed like a hyena the first time I read it. I recently read “Capital In the 21st Century” by Piketty and he makes very interesting use of her observations about wealth. Paul Johnson also uses Austin as a source of information about early 19th century England. Things that are so subtly expressed they are not obvious to most readers.
