[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 1965091, member: 487111"] I like Jane Austen but I can't honestly recommend buying her complete works all in one go, unless you can get them at a really, really good price! :) The more things I read and hear about her (online, books, movies, etc.), I realize I probably don't "get" her (her humor, social observations) because I'm a 20th-21st-century American who didn't major in 19th-century lit at college. But for just the quality of her writing and the stories, I do appreciate her. She has taught me more about the history of her times than any history course I took at school or in college, because she has made me interested enough to do nonfiction reading on some of the things she refers to. So, if you can get a really good deal, and have shelf space, you could buy the whole set, or try one at a time if possible. I started with [I]Pride & Prejudice[/I] after seeing the Laurence Olivier-Greer Garson movie. [/QUOTE]
