I wasn't able to read mansfield park, because I only found one in english.. and I wasn't able to understand it.. even in dutch it was difficult... My favorite is Emma, because I love the movie clueless... I read pride & prejudice as last.. I'm now looking for sense & sensibility.. and then I've almost read them all..

I'm reading a collection of Jane Austen's juvenilia, it's absolutely great and I love her writing, so witty and humorous lu this collection sounds interesting! It is! that collection has Love And Friendship, Lesly Castle, The History of England, first act of a comedy, a short story and some letters, which are really interesting (there's a Willoughby who has broken an engagement, a woman who is in love with a Mr. Musgrove..) They're great works, and Kristie would probably confirm that ;D

I'm reading an italian edition, the title can be translated into "Love and Friendship, and other early works" but I don't know what it's the original english title because it isn't mention at the beginning (and that's annoying and strange..). Love and Friendship, Lesley Castle are epistolary novels (very short, about 40 pages).

Or you can get the big fancy hardcover edition that was edited by my very own thesis director (http://www.amazon.com/Juvenilia-Cambridge-Works-Jane-Austen/dp/0521824206/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-1434037-4177431?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182579462&sr=1-1)
