The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler: A clever little book about – you guessed it – a book club which reads all six of Jane Austen’s novels. Ignore the back cover blurbs; you will enjoy this far more if you’re already an Austen fan. The original characters are cute, but by and large it’s written for Janeophiles.

    When I read it the first time, I’d only read Pride and Prejudice and Emma. I enjoyed it. When I read it again, I’d finished all six of the Austen completed novels, and I was blown away by the intricate woven echoes of a modern tale and the Austen books it is honoring. I enjoyed the movie, as well.
