Persuasion

by Jane Austen
home, hardcover, 116 pages

Anne Elliot is not nearly as likable as Elizabeth Bennett, but I enjoyed this story anyway. Reading too much of this type of fiction makes me impatient and bored with the idle rich. Yet at the same time, the excellent manners and restrained passions are intriguing. Mrs. Russell's interference prevented me from appreciating much of anything about her.
There are two Austen works I've not yet read, but here's the order of preference so far:
Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility
Persuasion
Emma
