It's definitely one of those series where I start to become envious of those reading it for the first time.
Finished Northanger Abbey, and I'm mad that I didn't read it in high school. Why didn't anyone tell me Jane Austen is hilarious? Catherine is such a goth chick and a bit of a dunce, I would have identified with her like crazy eleven years ago. As is, I'll have to make do with the witty satire.
Reading Carmilla next, then maybe I might read some of the gothic novels Jane Austen mentioned.
