Happy Birthday Jane Austen

Jane Austen, born on December 16, 1775 is known for many books, notably Pride & Prejudice. Many have been made into great movies. Browse Jane Austen's books and the multitudes of published Fan-Fiction here. Or read some of her books online here.

My favorite has always been Mansfield Park. Do you have a favorite?
