Northanger Abbey and Emma — 3 years ago

I finished Northanger Abbey recently and I loved it. It was such a hilarious satire on the types of gothic novels that were popular during Jane Austen’s life. I have read many places that this is considered her worst book, but I enjoyed every minute of it and laughed quite a lot.

On the other hand, I am having trouble getting into Emma, which is supposedly considered Austen’s “most perfect” work.
