Lady Susan / The Watsons / Sanditon
by Jane Austen
Lady Susan has to be one of my favorites by Austen, because it reminds me so much of my all-time favorite, "Vanity Fair" by William Makepeace Thackeray.
One of the reasons I like VF so much is because of its main character, Becky Sharp. Unlike most books, she isn't the protagonist - she's the antagonist. I have never loved to hate a villan or main character so much as Becky Sharp in VF. Austen's Lady Susan is a chip off the ol' VF block - she's despicable and it is very entertaining to read about her plotting and manipulations and to see her get what was coming to her all along.
I definitely would have loved to read more of Austen's novel "The Watsons" which was the novel she was working on when she died. I also really enjoyed the character of Edward Denham in "Sandition" - he was very amusing.
