My sister and I have been reading Jane Austen's collected works. (Re-reading for her, but most of it was for the first time for me.) If you enjoyed the Pride & Prejudice movie, you should definitely read the book. You would also likely enjoy Persuasion. I liked Mansfield Park, but not quite as much as those two, and it is really long! I am moving on to Northanger Abbey soon. It has taken a few weeks to get the BBC production of Northanger Abbey out of my head. It was awful! Under no circumstances should you be tempted to watch it.
I read some of them in high school but just managed to see P and P on DVD the other night. I enjoyed it but I tend to like those period romances anyhow...good to know you are enjoying your reads.

I loved the book P and P, but the new movie, in my opinion was really bad. I prefer the BBC version with Collin Firth, it's 6 hours long, but well worth it.
