I admit, so far, I have only read 2 books by her, that being Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. I was actually introduced to her works while studying A-level literature, which was Pride and Prejudice, and I have to admit, I really enjoyed it. I have to read that book once a year or I'd die.

I'm not too sure about Sense and Sensibility though. I did like it, but not as much as the first, because I found the language harder to understand than Pride and Prejudice, but that could be because I actually had my teachers to clarify some points I didn't understand.

But I love her style of writing. I love that gentle mockery and satire she uses in her books, and I really want to read the rest of her works when I have the time. And now that I can use my iPad to get her books for free, I really don't have any excuse not to read her works.
