CBC.ca recently published a great round-up and commentary on film adaptations of Jane Austen novels.

As noted in the article, there a lot of different types of so-called Jane Addicts out there. Here are some summer reading lists for all levels of Austen-obsession.

For the Budding Jane Addict

If you’ve seen - and love - the movies (or, ahem, Colin Firth), but have yet to read the books, pick up Bloomsbury UK’s new edition of Pride And Prejudice with an introduction by Meg Cabot, author of the Princess Diaries.

For the Traditional Jane Addict

If you’re a collector, or if you’re catching up on your classics, then turn to these books. Alma Books’ One World Classics imprint is releasing some gorgeous new editions of favourite Jane Austen titles, Pride And Prejudice and Emma.

For the Experimental Jane Addict

So, you’ve read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma. Now what? Not to worry, you can still get a your fix - there’s a whole world of lesser known books by Jane Austen to explore. These titles are all published by Hesperus Press.

• The Watsons
• Love And Friendship
• Lesley Castle
• Lady Susan

For the Daydreaming Jane Addict

If you think that Austen’s world is looking better and better (I mean, where are people’s manners these days?), you’re not alone.

In her novel, Austenland, Shannon Hale writes about Jane, a contemporary New Yorker who is secretly obsessed with Jane Austen novels and Mr Darcy. One day, she discovers a wealthy relative has bequeathed her a trip to an English resort ... which caters to women obsessed with Jane Austen. Is it a dream come true, or should her secret obsession have remained a secret?

In The 25 Pains Of Kennedy Baines, Kennedy is unimpressed with the lack of romance in real life. For that, she has to resort to Jane Austen novels and Colin Firth movies. That is, until a hot 18-year old boy from England (also named Colin!) comes to visit…

For the “This is not a Book, it’s a Lifestyle” Jane Addict

And, last but not least, if you want to take the next step and actually be like the characters in Jane Austen’s novels, there’s help. And by help, I don’t mean that we can help you get over your obsession. I mean, we’ll help you get as Austen-tatious as you can be. Check out The Jane Austen Handbook: A Sensible Yet Elegant Guide To Her World (published by Quirk Books), Jane Austen’s Guide To Good Manners: Compliments, Charades & Horrible Blunders (published by Bloomsbury UK), or Jane Austen: The World of Her Novels (published by Frances Lincoln).

So ... what kind of Jane Addict are YOU?
