by Jane Austen. I just finished "Sense and Sensibility".

"Emma" is written in a much more lively style, and is very funny.

If any of you have seen the movie, "Clueless," it is based on the book "Emma."

I can't go to the library, because my state is still on shutdown. I have a couple of piles of books that I had purchased over the last year or so. (We try to support our local independent bookstore). One of those piles, which contain the Jane Austen books, is diminishing.
