Why Do You Read Jane Austen?

Well, if English was my native language, I could write a book "Why I love Jane Austen"! :D

All her novels are great, they seem to be similar, but they are so different.
All her characters are great, I mean she described them so, that although they are not modern people, their contemporary people can easily see themselves in her heroes and heroines.
Jane has a good sense of humour, I laugh a lot when read her 6 great novels.
My favourite book is Pride and Prejudice, but it doesn't mean that others are less great.
They all are amazing books that can cheer you up, help to see your flaws (sometimes), or and so on... :)
Besides her heroes (adorable heroes) can't leave you cold.
Oh, I just love her and her awesome books!

I started reading Pride and Prejudice (by Jane Austen, of course!) after I saw the 2005 adaptation of the movie.

I LOVE Jane Austen's books. My favourite is the immortal 'Pride and Prejudice' because the story allows the reader to immerse themselves in a time long gone when 'society' and the social status of a person dictated who they could or couldn't marry. It was also a time when 'courting' (for the lack of a better word) was done properly, there was an innocence to the contact between the sexes which allows us to feel the passion that is bubbling below the surface even though the characters aren't ripping each other's clothes off.(I sometimes wish that Miss Austen had gave us a peek into the Darcys' wedding night however my imagination has filled in the blanks...swoon!)I sympathise with Jane's heroines and lust after the dashing men that seek them out. I become attached to the characters and that is all Jane Austen's good work.
