Why read it?
1 author picked The Complete Novels of Jane Austen as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love every one of Jane Austen’s novels. I have no favorites, so I can’t recommend only one. They are so funny, but they’re also full of life, love, sadness, loss, families, friends, disappointments, and surprises.
They all end in a marriage, but so do Shakespeare’s comedies–it’s just what happens in a comedy, along with many other things. I’ve read them all more times than I can count but I always find something new to love every time I reread any of them.
From Gillian's list on reveal the real Jane Austen.
