C'mon, I know you're out there ;)
I really like Jane Austen. I got into her through watching the BBC Pride and Prejudice, and have since read P&P as well as Sense and Sensebility. I've also seen pretty much every film interpretation of her work. My favourite will always be the BBC Pride and Prejudice, though I do really enjoy the recent one that came out directed by Joe Wright with Kiera Knightley as Elizabeth (the guy who played Darcy in that was smoking hot :D). I have also been watching the new mini-series Lost in Austen, which airs on ITV in England, and on the W network in Canada. It's about a 20-something girl living in London who finds a doorway in her house that leads to the Bennett's house in Georgian England. She ends up screwing up a lot of the character's lives. It's been fairly entertaining.
I think next I'm going to read Emma. For those who want to give her a try, here is her wiki page with a list of all her works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_austen.
