Really enjoy Jane Austen: - you find something new every time you read (the major novels, anyway), and I often find myself comparing people in real life to her characters.
As for adaptations, I would heartily recommend 'Lost In Austen'. It's about a modern heroine who steps through a door in her bathroom into the world of Pride and Prejudice. She finds herself unintentionally meddling in the plot of the novel. The writing and humour are much more enjoyable than the plot sounds, I promise.
