"Persuasion is a far superior Austen--and shorter. Great movie, too, just in case you can't get through the book."

Best of all, bar none, is "Pride and Prejudice." And the movie by A&E is absolutely gorgeous. See the movie. Don't bother with the book, although it is wonderful. Austen's stories are excellent research for people who write "Regency" romances and other historical fiction.
