What's your favorite Austen?  | | Jane Austen fans, which is your favorite book and why? Mine is Pride and Prejudice followed closely by Persuasion. I love the tortured hero and the relationship full of angst. I like romances where the couple has to work hard to be together, where the misunderstandings keep them apart.

dfn12968 (5538) | 3 years ago | Mansfield Park is good. I think it's one though where I liked the movie better. I am in the minority of people not fond of Emma. There was a list a while ago of the top 100 classic books of all time, I can't remember where. The author listed Emma instead of P&P but said it was really hard for her to choose. I think the decision is pretty split as to which is the best, at least from any Austen fan I have talked to.
Thanks for the response.:)

dfn12968 (5538) | 2 years ago | I just thought about doing this discussion and though....better check first to see if it's been done before. Yikes!
Good thing I checked, since it's me who did it...LOL.
This is, by the way, a blatant attempt to resurrect it.:)

dfn12968 (5538) | 2 years ago | Yes....little ol' you answering my Jane Austen discussion is scary!
It is unfortunate that I had already chosen BR though. Your answer was clearly the best!:-p

| | 3. novataylor (2144) | 2 years ago | You know, I was going to say that Jane Eyre was my favorite, but it was written by Bronte, so I can't say that, can I? I don't think I read much Austen, but I was a great fan of Bronte. Jane Eyre had the tragic hero and heroine and their love was not only forbidden, it was also angst filled and hugely romantic. The character of Mr. Rochester was one of my favorite all time men. Also, um, it was, Dickens, yes, that wrote the one with Pip, um, Great Expectations! That's it! Ooooh, Mrs, Haversham, Estella and Pip. Whew! I loved that book so, so much! Also, the one with Heathcliff - another Bronte, I think, on the moors, um, oh, I can't think of it now!!!! Damn! And Cathy, that was her name in the book. Damn! Still can't think of it. It'll come to me. One thing I really loved was that in the movie they made of Jane Eyre, they had George C. Scott play Mr. Rochester. That was so great because I always, always saw that character as looking exactly like George C. Scott! How great that was for me! Geez, I've been rambling like crazy here, typing exactly as I've been thinking. Sorry, D. Got a little carried away. But I just love those sweeping novels of passion. At least, I used to. Haven't read one in a long time. I've got it!!! Wuthering Heights! That was the name of the book with Heathcliff and Cathy.

| | 4. MooPile (1304) | 2 years ago | Emma is good but my favorite is P&P. I watched that in college with Collin Firth and it was by far one of the best adaptations.
Collin also played Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones's Diary, both parts.
