I've only ever read Persuasion. I'd decided that I had been a "Austen fan" solely through TV & film adaptations for too long and so I would finally read one of the books. I chose Persuasion because I wanted to try with a story I didn't know and so it was either that or Northanger Abbey and that sounded like a bit of a departure.
I enjoyed it but found the language a struggle at times. There were times when I'd forgotten by the end of sentence what it was referring to. I just read the 1818 Frankenstein and found it very readable by comparison. (Persuasion was published in 1817).
Always meant to go back and read the others but rather put off by this experience. Will probably try again at some point, but there's always so much to read...
