How can you not love Jane Austen? I think I'd read both S&S and P&P twice before deciding to tackle her novels in their entirety, and loved them both even more the 3rd time. Mansfield Park is one of my least favorites, but in Austen terms, that means I was still fully engaged and entertained. My personal verdict is that Elizabeth Bennet is the most wonderful Austen heroine, not to mention one of my favorite protagonists of literature generally, and the sparkle of the dialogue in P&P is unparalleled.
