Northanger Abbey, written around 1798 but actually published in 1817, follows Catherine Morland on a visit to Bath and later to Northanger Abbey, the house of new acquaintances, the Tilneys. Because she has been reading Ann Radcliffe's gothic novel The Mysteries of Udolpho, Catherine expects her visit to be full of fantastical mystery, murder, and romance.

I read and like a lot of different kinds of books. I'm a big fan of SF and related genres. I love Jane Austen. Among my all-time favorite authors is Nevil Shute but Dan Jenkins runs him a close race, as does Michael Shaara (but not Shaara's son, Jeff). More favorites: Philip K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein, William Gibson (Pattern Recognition is a truly wonderful book and you don't need to know or care about SF to find it fascinating.), Robertson Davies, Donald Hamilton, John D. MacDonald, Leo Tolstoy, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Michael Connelly, James Lee Burke, Harper Lee, J. G. Ballard, Terry Bisson, Brian Moore, Farley Mowat, Joe Haldeman, Ian Frazier, Martin Amis, John M. Ford, James Ellroy, Joan Didion, John Gregory Dunne, Thomas M. Disch, Gustav Hasford, Michael Herr, Georgette Heyer (but not so much the mysteries), L. Rust Hills, Ernie Kovacs, Mell Lazarus. And lots more.

Scholarly, I am interested in 18th century literature of sensibility. Privately, I read everything. Well, maybe not really EVERYthing, but from Chaucer to Coetzee, Jane Austen to Milton. Oh, and William Blake.

Good Books. Good Authors. Good plot lines. Anything by Karen Kingsbury, Francine Rivers, jane Austen or any of the Bronte sisters. I'm into the Christian living stuff, inspirational growth books. And definitely NO science fiction.

We will be using this group during our English Directed Study to read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. This will supplant some of our tutorials for the semester.

For all those Jane Austen lovers who are wanting to delve into the old classics and maybe tackle a few of the modern spinoffs.
