I must confess that I read Austen’s novels over and over again, so my preference would be Jane.

I find the Brönte sisters a little bit too dramatic at times, though I really enjoyed Jane Eyre.

I've seen a couple film versions of Jane Eyre and I thought both were extremely boring with a rather lame plot. Maybe the book is better, but I've never really been interested after seeing the movie.

Having said all that, I still pick up Austen’s work time and again, but have barely ever re-read any Brontë work.
