Why read it?
1 author picked Northanger Abbey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because I love Jane Austen. Although Northanger Abbey is ostensibly a gothic novel, I would call it light gothic or a parody of Gothic.

From Mike's list on gothic novels that usurped my literary soul.
