I really love Jane Austen, and Northanger Abbey is a keeper. It is a parody of Gothic Fiction (specifically, The Mysteries of Udolpho, by Ann Radcliffe) and it was clever.
Favorite Quotes:
"What ideas, Miss Morland, have you been admitting?"
"The heroine's father did not lock her away in the cellar as is the custom of one such story as this."
