Jane Austen with a touch of sarcastic humor, and a "breaking of the 4th wall" from author to reader.

This is the best place to start with Austen (well, you could also read her juvenilia if you want... it is more silly than anything, but entertaining nonetheless), and it's definitely a fun read.<br /><br />Mica<br /><a href="http://popdust.com/2015/04/10/myfeed/online-dating-reviews-best-worst-experiences-plenty-of-fish/" rel="nofollow">Online Dating Plenty of Fish Review</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118707550077647899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-14616863042986032952013-12-03T09:49:26.850+00:002013-12-03T09:49:26.850+00:00Great writing, great story, great characters...com...Great writing, great story, great characters...come to Northanger Abbey with a sense of humor and you will not be disappointed.<br /><br />(<a href="http://www.maidservice-housecleaningsa.com" rel="nofollow">Jeremy Bell</a>)Irene Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603959953431879572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-39811784823818757182013-08-25T19:49:00.687+01:002013-08-25T19:49:00.687+01:00I'm with you.

Henry Tilney is delightful and charming, which so many of Austen's heroes are not quite, and I love how Catherine grows up over the course of the book.

I adored it and, like you, flew through it.
