that would be most suitable for a 57 year old to read (or re-read)?
Weird question - I know. But I tried reading Jane Austen in my 20s and really didn't 'get it'. However in my 30s - something clicked, and I read lots of them ie Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, etc.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) - I'm a bit thick, and forget the plots of books etc although I read a lot. I'm wondering which Jane Austen book I would appreciate the most from an older person's view point - if that makes sense?!
Open to suggestions here from those more versed in Jane Austen. And as an aside - what's your favourite Dickens? (Mine is Bleak House)
