do you like jane austen's novels?

I really like reading jane Austen's books. She was a very talented author. I like the way she describes family relationships. Her characters are very interesting. I like the way she makes them speak. My favourite of her books is Pride and Prejudice. I like to heroine Elizabeth Bennet and the hero Fitzwilliam Darcy most of all. Others books that she has writen that I like are Emma, Persuasion, Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey. I live in the UK and I would love to visit Jane Austen's old house in Hampshire. In Bath there is also a tourist attraction that connected with her life. Christmas is the time of year the television company put on film adaptations of her books. The costumes they use are lovely and I think they are worth watching. I prefer to read the books themselves however.

Hi Maribea,tanks for the link.I'm fun of Jane Austen and I don't even remember how many times I readied the pride and Prejudice.I first readied when I was a young girl and since then I did it many times but all at Greek of course. I also watch the movie the old one from BBC and the new one.It was very good but not as the book.After all always the books are better than movies. PS: Do you know any other from her books be movie?

since my childhood, i have been reading Jane austen's abridged versions of novels and finally when i read the original version in English i am struck with awe at the simplicity with which she narrated the involvements and character of daily life. i am ardent fan of the author. i have read pride and prejudice, Emma, Mansfield park, sense ans sensibiities. i like Emma and pride and prejudice a lot. all of her novels have a similar kind of flavor with subtle comic hint yet so deep in thought and values. thanx for the referral site, it was a pleasure going through the page. thanx maribea, have a nice day.

I love Jane Austen. A couple of years ago, I read every one of her books, one after another. My favorite is "Mansfield Park," with "Pride and Prejudice" a close second. I love the "Pride and Prejudice" version with Keira Knightly just a few years ago. I've seen it a couple of times, and it was just as good the second time seeing it (lovely settings in the film). I haven't seen "Emma" on film, but there is also a film version of "Mansfield Park," although, alas, not as good as the book. In the US, they also sell Jane Austen action figures! You can buy them online. That's how popular Jane Austen is, even in the States.

Thank you for sharing the link. I have read all Jane Austen novels and liked them all a lot. Guess I'm sort of a Jane Austen fan LOL. :) My favorite book I think it is Persuasion but I also liked Sense and Sensibility a lot. Oh, and how could I forget about Emma :)

I've read Pride and Prejudice in Chinese.And i like it,thought i have not appreciated every point of it.

I remember "Sense and Sensibility". "Pride and Prejudice" still remember, but I should read it again. I am not saying that I am fun of her books, I was reading her books long time ago....I may read it again after looking into your link...thank you..:)))

I've read all of her novels, some of them several times. In fact, I may start them all over again as soon as I finish with my current author obsession. I suppose it's trite, but Pride and Prejudice is my favorite, because the characters are so well developed. I also have the TV miniseries with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, and love to sink into the atmosphere and settings. I know people like the version with Keira Knightley, but I doubt that I'll ever watch it. She's pretty lightweight as an actress, and a movie length version just won't do it for me. A long book deserves more than two hours.

I love Jane Austen, I think I've read Pride and Prejudice at least a dozen times. I'm afraid I can't think of other books she's written but am certainly going to check this site out when I have a little more time am sure they have lists of her other works.

I think she writes beautiful novels. I think she is a great writer and I would defently say I am a fan. Even a small one. I sometimes wish I could be like her. Writing books and getting paid and all else. In the old times when people had no tvs, or computers, and just wrote and such. It would be very good indeed.

I like her novels too. Pride and Prejudice is of course very famous but i also like Emma. In fact the best thing about her books is you can read them again after some time and discover something you missed the first time.

I have not read the books yet but I have seen the movies and I loved Pride and Prejudice & Sense and Sensibility, they are on my list of books to read and I cannot wait...

I've only read 'Pride and Prejudice' and although I found it hard to read because of the way it was written, the story fascinated me and I've seen several different versions of it on film. She was ahead of her time in her thinking and how she perceived women. Nice website too!

I love Jane Austen..the way she has portrayed the characters is marvellous..I love Mr.Darcy...

I have to admit that i find Jane Austin very hard to read. I love the stories and have every version of every novel as a TV drama or movie but i find the novels themselves too confusing. There are too many people who go by the same names and i just can't keep track of who is who. I've heard this is why men find it difficult to read Austin, maybe i just have a manly brain?

I've recently finish reading her Pride and Prejudice novel also and i am now a great fan of hers. I really like her way of writing! and i enjoy her story and i also share your favorite novel which is the Pride and Prejudice... Really great story

I love Jane Austen's work.I think there are very few writers of that age who interest this generation people also. I have read her novels many times.My favourite character is Elizabeth from Pride & Prejudice which is again my favourite.I always enjoy reading it.The characterisation is very good.

Jane is one of my favoritist writer. I like Pride and Prejudice very much.
