Read it Again submitted by sara on August 25, 2013, 3:19pm If you were forced to read Jane Austen for school, read it again as an adult- you will enjoy it much more.

Sense and Sensibility submitted by SBNB on July 28, 2014, 9:36pm It's a good book. But in my opinion, many of the other Austen books are better.

Sense and Sensibility submitted by Fishing Rainbow on June 16, 2015, 3:22pm Sense and Sensibility is a great read. I recommend to everyone pretty much.

One of My Faves submitted by majean on July 21, 2018, 3:26pm Colonel Brandon is probably my favorite Austen hero ever. <3

Hilarious submitted by lstorc on August 27, 2018, 5:28pm This is one of Jane Austen's more comedic novels. The interaction between characters is priceless!
