You guys have any favorite books by any British authors? I'm thinking about reading Emma by Jane Austen.
I really liked Frankenstein.

Do it OP, you have nothing to lose. My favourite book by a British author is "The Canterbury Tales," which is also my favourite book of all time.

What part are you referring to? I found nothing in reference to me trying to discuss British literature. Read the sticky beforehand, so I didn't create the thread ignorantly.

Don't think I've ever come across anyone whose favorite book is Canterbury Tales. What is it about it that makes it the best for you?

As most of Austen's works, Emma would be better as a collection of short stories than a novel. But it's still very enjoyable.

Villette

It's the metafiction, mostly
The relationship between the story teller and Pilgrim Chaucer's narration of the story, conscious of both the frame text in which the stories are being told and Geoffrey Chaucer's relationship to all of this
Not to mention it's uproariously funny, full of rich imagery, and interesting themes

Looks interesting, but what do you like about the book?

Middlemarch is the finest English novel

I'm thinking about reading something--anything--by B. S. Johnson but I can't find anything in digital format. Him or Ann Quin. Too obscure and weird, I guess.
