Where's a good place to start with her?

Never, read Mary Anne Evans instead

Start with the Greeks and slowly work your way up to third base.

In her grave, defiling her corpse.

Price & Prejudice is honestly the best place to start.
I recommend reading all of her work, but my personal favourites, and what seem to be the critical consensus are Emma and Mansfield Park.

Pride & Prejudice is the most optimistic and romantic of her novels. Elizabeth and Darcy have more chemistry between each other than any other romance in Austen novels, and the male love interests in her other novels are a lot less interesting than Darcy. At the same time, Austen is usually praised for other reasons than the actual romance elements.
Northanger Abbey is interesting because Austen makes direct addresses to the audience defending the value of novels as an art form.
Mansfield Park is interesting because Austen hated niggers.
Lady Susan is interesting because it's her most cynical work and the evil bitch character wins.
Sense and Sensibility is good, but not as good as Pride and Prejudice.
The Emma of Emma is an unlikable cunt.

I've been having to read gothic 'literature' for papers and it was a delight to read Northhanger Abbey afterwards.
I like Austen and her books a lot, she makes all her females cute without being dumb and annoying whimpering damsels.

Pride & Prejudice or Sense & Sensibility are good starts. But you should get around to reading Northhanger Abbey or Mansfield Park after.

I was working at a bookshop when this came out, I got in trouble from my manager because I actively discouraged customers from buying it. I felt it was a sort of duty to Jane's dignity, but looking back I was being pretty autistic.

I'm taking a Jane Austen class and my professor said the zombie book was actually pretty funny for the first 30 pages, but then it just became the same joke over and over again.

Anywhere, there's no learning curve. I don't say that dismissively. I like her.
