From them I would propose "I town like Alice". I personally like "Persuasion" more but not only the discussion in the book club showed that some people are struggling through it, especially through the first half.
If you decide against them all then delete them from any list that they don't clutter your brain anymore and follow the good advice of the other posters here.

I already own and do plan to read all of them, eventually. The only one that feels like a "chore " at the moment is
Persuasion. I think its because I already have an idea about how its going to end,

I was so into the story a few times that I couldn't put the book down and go to sleep. I kept turning the light on again to just read a few more pages.
Then I bought the paperback omnibus a few years later and read it all again. I plan on rereading the omnibus again, but may have to get the digital version, as the paperback omnibus is so big and heavy. |
It is quite
huge and will definitely be staying home. The runner-up in this poll will most likely be my "away" read, unless its
Cirque Du Freak,
which as a 3 book omnibus, is also quite large.

I was actually enjoying it in the beginning.
