It's been a while since I read any of her books but I do like 'Pride & Prejudice' the best. I don't know why possibly because I saw a film of it first and it was the first of her books I read.

The style of writing and the expressions used do take a bit of getting used to but it is well worth the effort as the novels are funny and the characters well thought out and protrayed.

I have read Pride and Prejudice and Emma of hers.And till now Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorites.The characters are created very well and I admire the language in this novel very much.You will always find it so cute and wisdom is showed every now and then.Ah,I really can not express my feelings enough.So amazing that everytime I get down to reading,I can not put it now.It is really a great book,and I'm sure everyone who has read it will agree with me about that.

About Emma,I just read it once and I don't think much of it compared with Pride and Prejudice.Maybe the short cut version is not so good as the original,anyway,I will try to read it again,and what do you think of this book?

Besides,it's a shame that I have not read her other famous books like Sense and Sensibility and Persuation,I am sure they are very great as well.I really can't wait to try them at once.

I have read all Jane Austen's novels and are all fantastic!There are no doubt she's one of the best writers of ever, the novel I prefer is Persuasion and I advise you to read it

I like her novel Pride and Prejudice the most, it sure was a great read, and I watched the dvd of this for like, 5 times. I usually watched it during rainy days, often rewinding its most romantic scenes. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen are just fantastic in this movie, and Mrs. Benneth is oh-so-funny! I personally think this is the most romantic movie of all times, seconded by The Lake House of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.

I've read all her novels several times over and either Pride & Prejudice or Persuasion is my favorite. My least two favorites were Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey. I think what makes P&P so great is because it's so incredibly witty and the characters are so detailed and full of life. Northanger Abbey definitely seems a little stale in comparison.

Northanger Abbey stale? - yes ok. But my least favourite is Emma, I just don't like her!

Have read and enjoyed every single one of Austen's books, would probably have to agree that P&P is my favourite, but Mansfield Park has to come close! Don't really know why, as I happen to think that Fanny Price is a bit of a drip.
Have seen some of the other comments, people only reading some of Jane Austen, cannot reccomend them enough. There have been so many adaptations, yes you know how it's going to end... but it's how Austen gets there. My favourite bits are the language, the super proper english etc. and the manners, just the bowing and.. I don't really know how to explain it. I do know however that since reading these, I now read any period books I can get my hands on and have developed an odd fascination (in a 16 year old girl at least) for period adaptations on screen!
