83. Emma by Jane Austen

I love Emma. She's the self obsessed Paris Hilton of her day - though at least she learns her lesson. Her self-absorption is actually adorable and the punishment for it is well developed through the results of her actions. I loved the movie too - so I can't be too much of an Austen purist. Austen was basically a fluff fiction writer in her day and I really enjoyed Emma with that in mind.
