I would gladly do! To cure you of your perverse anti-popularity, I sentence you to begin with Pride & Prejudice, the most popular of her very popular novels. It really is very good.

If things go well IтАЩd recommend DA MillerтАЩs Austen book (very short) and Regulated Hatred by DW Harding!

OKAY. I read the first fifth on the ferry (I "had to" go to Uruguay for the day) and I laughed aloud and annoyed a woman near me, then finished it over the next several days. I didn't know they were funny, I thought they were pleasant. Agatha Christie, but with marriage instead of murder. So thank you! I'm going to buy Northanger Abbey and read it next time I'm on a boat, which will probably be November when I have to go to Uruguay again.
