Which do you enjoy more - the Austen canon or the Bronte canon?

[Lil Reads]

It seems like some people prefer Austen or Bronte books.

Do you prefer specific books from each or just one author over all? Any particular reason?

[adediran515]

I prefer specific books. It is because it gives me focus on what I really need

[Mallory Porshnev]

I prefer Austen because I think Bronte's novels are much darker and I need to be in a certain mood to read them.

[ScoutWrites]

I like the Bronte novels, especially Jane Eyre. But I have never read Austen because I thought the Pride and Prejudice movie was annoying and I didn't like the characters. Maybe if I tried the book, I might feel differently. Also some people have told me Sense and Sensibility is better. I think the Bronte style is more my taste though.

I love the Bronte sisters, so I think I am biased because of that. I always think about how if they knew that all three of them ended up with classics still read today, they would be shocked! Especially Anne...

I prefer Austen's books. I have read Bronte's Jane eyre but i have liked Austen's books more.

[Eldred Floki]

for me the Austin I think cuz I've gone through many of Bronte but still the time I spends on The Austin canon is much more fruitful to me

[Vscholz]

Wuthering Heights is one of my all-time favorite books! I have yet to find a GOOD film adaptation (the 2011 version was quite bad and the one prior to that with Tom Hardy... well, it introduced me to Tom Hardy and I am thankful for that).

I have tried to read a few books by Jane Austen, but it doesn't seem quite my style. I think it is because I am too enamoured by Wuthering Heights and how awful the characters are to one another and how they deserve one another...

[AnnaKathleen]

Bronte is on my list but I still have yet to pick up a book by them. I have read Austen's Pride and Prejudice and enjoyed it. I have quite a few books by both on my shelf that I need to read.

[Kajori Sheryl Paul]

I believe it depends on the book and the mood I am in. Having said that, Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights' and Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' are two of my all time favourites.

[Sharill Rasowo]

I would have to choose the Bronte sisters as I love more of their books but Jane Austen is also wonderful.

[Facennagoss]

I like the Bronte novels, especially Jane Eyre. But I have never read Austen because I thought the Pride and Prejudice movie was annoying and I didn't like the characters. Maybe if I tried the book, I might feel differently. Also some people have told me Sense and Sensibility is better. I think the Bronte style is more my taste though.

I’m also not a fan of Pride and Prejudice but I highly recommend Emma as one of Austen’s better novels.

[Nnamdi Sam]

I love to read the Bronte novels.although i have not once tried to read a novel by Austen. Maybe if i try to read an Austen novel, i might change my perspective.

[Betykm]

Have not read either,,will try and make a choice though Austen's books sounds like something to go with

[Vania25]

I love Jane Eyre, but I must say that I prefer Austen because I just could not read the other Bronte's books.
