What book should I read next?

[olde_fashioned]

I am almost finished with Hard Times, and I'm not sure what I should start next. What do you all think I should read?

I've never read Lady Susan, since I'd be sad to have no JA left to read, and I would like to read Cranford before the movie comes out and spoils the plot for me. I own a used copy of Villette, but then I've always wanted to read 1776! I really liked the movie of Lorna Doone, so I thought I'd read that, too! So you see my dilemma. ;-P

ETA: Thanks for your votes! I've finished Hard Times and I'll post a review soon, and I've already started reading Lorna Doone. :-D

The BBC. Judi Dench and a whole bunch of other people you may recognize are in it. I don't know about you, but I'm kind of excited! (considering the quality of their last Gaskell adaptation...*ahem*)

THIS (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0974077/) is a link to the IMDb listing for Cranford Chronicles, and THIS (http://www.cranfordchronicles.com/) is a link to a new site I found that also has some production images of the cast in costume.

Interesting that it's combining Cranford with two novellas! (I haven't read any of the works they're using.) Lots of great cast members. Thanks for letting me know!

I'm not at all famililar with the storylines of these. I liked the cast as well -- it'll be interesting to see this when it's aired!

My pleasure, Kari! :-D
