Pride and Prejudice

Austen has been praised endlessly for good reason, so it's all been said. But the endearing nature of her work and the endless layer of subtlety that permeate every page of her writing make it not only a great novel, but endlessly rereadable. Whether it is your first or hundredth read through something new is always there to capture your attention. Austen understood characters and people to the point that even the most minor characters dont fall flat and return anew as old friends with each possible read through.
