Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I've read Jane Eyre, Madame Bovary, and Sense and Sensibility!. My favorite of these three is definitely Jane Eyre; when I started reading it, I was expecting something similar to Jane Austen's books, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it was deeper and not!.!.!. fluffy!.

Sense and Sensibility was okay, but I read it after reading Pride and Prejudice and Emma, and was getting sick of Austen's one-dimensional characters by then!.

Madame Bovary I read a couple years ago and didn't like it when I read it--I thought Madame Bovary was annoying and that the writing was too flowery!. However, my appreciation for different literary styles has grown since then, so I might give it another try sometime!.

I don't think that any of these three are particularly hard to read, although I had to give the first few pages of Jane Eyre a couple tries before I got into it!. Well worth it though!!
I'll definitely have to get around to Rebecca and Middlemarch sometime in the near future!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of the five, I've read Sense and Sensibility and Rebecca!.

Sense and Sensibility was a wonderful book from start to finish!. Jane Austen was an amazing and very talented author!. You can't help but feel for Elenor as she struggles with the weight of loving a man whom she's not sure loves her back *while* she has to care for her distraught sister!. This book is heart-wrenching as well as heart-warming!.

Rebecca was!.!.!.wow!. Daphne du Maurier created a pure masterpiece with this one!. It's mysterious, it's gripping, it's eerie, it's twisted, it's a little romantic!.!.!.everything you could want in a novel!.

And since they are classics, they're more "advanced" reads, but that doesn't mean they should be tossed aside!. Classics are usually the best kinds of literature---they're classics for a reason, right!? There's a lot of depth in these books, as well as social commentary, that seem to be left out of more modern books!.

So, give them a shot!. I'm sure you won't be disappointed, especially if you happen to like reading classics!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
