Ariana Jashari asked this question about Pride and Prejudice:
In eighth grade I read Wuthering Heights. I loathed it. I never touched a classic again. Until I saw the movie "Pride and Prejudice" and became obsessed with Austen. I love this novel; everything from her language to her authentic characters. It's so fresh and different from the Bronte sisters works. I want to read more of this! Please tell me which Austen book I should read next and/or other classics similiar to it?
adriana I think Sense and Sensibility or Emma. Or if your looking for a simpler, gothic book, Northanger Abbey is also alright. However, I find Mansfield Park…moreI think Sense and Sensibility or Emma. Or if your looking for a simpler, gothic book, Northanger Abbey is also alright. However, I find Mansfield Park and Persuasion dull and more boring than the rest of her books. But they are still good. After you're finished her books, you should read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I find the writing style to be similar.(less)
