Jane Austen Bookclub

I watched this movie for the 1st time the other night & loved it.
I have never read a single book of Jane Austen's. I have tried a few times, but got bored.

After watching the movie, they have inspired me to try again.Jane Austen can't be 1 of the authors to read & be bad... Perhaps I just need to try harder.

I am being extremely optimistic, as it took me over 2 weeks to read the last book on account of me not having a life anymore, aka working all the time but I am going to attempt Emma.

Thanks to Wikipedia, here is a short idea of the book:

Emma is a novel about the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively 'comedy of manners' among her characters.

Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like."

 In the very first sentence she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma, however, is also rather spoiled; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; and she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives and is often mistaken about the meanings of others' actions.
