Hands down it's Pride and Prejudice for me. I love the banter between Elizabeth and Darcy and it's refreshing to have a strong female lead in Lizzy. I love reading classics, but a pet peeve of mine is docile female characters as the leads in a story. I like female characters that take charge and make events happen in their lives as opposed to being driven into events by others.

I would just like to put the fact that Pride and Prejudice is nothing compared to Jane Eyre out there. Jane Eyre has so much depth, I mean don’t get me wrong, I like Pride and Prejudice too but Jane Eyre just gets me all giddy. I might have to read them both again and just prove my point of Jane Eyre being greater!

I don't understand why people always try to compare any of the Bronte sisters. Other than being female authors living in a similar period, they are so dissimilar in styles.

I would say I prefer Pride and Prejudice as I enjoy the satire, but find Jane Eyre the richer book in terms of themes. I enjoy both but think they have very different appeals.

Jane Eyre is my favourite book. It was the first novel I ever read.

Jane Eyre probably sets the standards' basis. Pride and Prejudice follows the standards and evolves, so it's probably Pride and Prejudice for me.

P&P. I didn't really liked "Jane Eyre". If I would choose Bronte over Austen, it would be Emily's "Wuthering Heighs".

Both are very interesting. But, I prefer Jane Eyre most. Because of the story, characters and the language used by the author.

Yes...read the books and watch the movies...Pride and Prejudice the movie is more entertaining and a bit more pleasant to see...the book is a little less fascinating for me. Jane Eyre the movie was a little dry...the book was worth all my time and attention. Beautiful. Love it.

In my opinion, as a big fan of both books, they are two different types of masterpieces. Specially on what they make me feel: P&P, by being a romantic novel, brings me a breath of fresh air, making me love and hate characters, feeling frustrated about society and thinking about what marriage really means. 
Jane Eyre, as a gothic novel, brings a mysterious atmosphere, making me suffer the pain Jane goes though, from her childhood to what she discovers in Thornfield and her tough journey after that.
Of course, there are similarities too: like the romance, the great character development and the drama that is behind, but for me their main plots are not comparable.

Although Pride and Prejudice will always have a special place in my heart, Jane Eyre would have to be my favorite out of the two. The character development of the two, as well their relationship make this book an amazing read. The writing allowed me to delve into the sorrows of Jane's life, and how it changed once she met Mr. Rochester.
