This week I'm (still) reading Emma, by Jane Austen.
This is the first sentence:
Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.
So it’s not exactly Pride and Prejudice, but it seems to basically some up what I have come to appreciate about Miss Woodhouse – a nosey spoilt brat. In fact I am finding it hard to like any of the female characters that have been presented so far – well apart from Miss Weston/Taylor who as Emma’ previous tutor I have a mild respect for.

How great is the edition of Ema that you have. I have a little Pride and Prejudice in the same edition - I recently discovered that you can get all of her works in that set and I really want to do that one day

So in answer to your question - how great is it. It's free so I can't complain.
