If your answers were mostly As—You ought to try picking up Jane Austen’s unfinished work, Sanditon. It features sea bathing, and our heroine comes to the town of Sanditon with the amiable hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Parker, because she is seeking adventure.

 

If your answers were mostly Bs—Find yourself a copy of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice immediately. You’ll be enchanted by Austen’s sharp, dry wit and the way she crafts her characters.

 

If your answers were mostly Cs- Do give Emma a look. The heroine is unlike all others and so her story is just as singular as well. The beauty of reading Emma, of course, is that there have been so many masterful adaptations, so once you finish, there will be plenty to watch on television.

 

If your answers were mostly Ds- It might do to check out a copy of Northanger Abbey from your local library. Follow Catherine Morland on her quest to seek adventure as she travels from her hometown to Bath, then onward to Northanger Abbey, a mysterious place that sparks her interest in more ways than one.
