Last month I was telling Dan that it is very "on brand" for me to start purchasing all movies based on Jane Austen books. I mean, I haven't, but it wouldn't be surprising if I went there. Books, movies, mini series, tv series, adaptations...I literally can't get enough.
I just finished reading my favourite of all her books: Persuasion. I long ago lost track of how many times I've read it. There were a few years (a few rough years), where I re-read it multiple times per year. My copy is well-loved, and well-worn.
And well referenced! My ongoing joke is that soon this book with be all dog-eared. Many pages are already double dog-eared. Sorry if this image makes you cringe. I know this is a pain point for lots of folks!
You know how there are some quotes that just stick in your brain no matter what. A lot of mine are from this book. Captain Wentworth's letter still ranks way up high in most romantic thing I've ever read, and Anne Elliott is such a delight that most of the words out of her mouth are sweet perfection.

I've only read Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. I enjoyed them but don't remember much. Might have to keep my eyes out at the Beach Library!
