I had this saved as a draft but then I forgot to post it until I saw yours, so Thanks! My favorite will always be Pride and Prejudice, with Sense and Sensibility coming in a close second. How about yours?

What an author she was. She had a perceptive eye for social mores and delightfully put them in her books. It says a lot about how well written her books are that people still love them today.
