Sophie Kinsella's Favorite Books Include Emma by Jane Austen

Posted on July 22, 2008

Sophie Kinsella, the bestselling author of the Shopaholic series, reveals her three favorite books. They are:

1. Emma by Jane Austen: "Jane Austen's writing is witty, elegant and timeless and Emma is one of her most enduring heroines. I've read this book over and over again."

2. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll: "This is an absolute classic. I've always adored all the puzzles, mind-games and riddles."

3. The Diary of a Provincial Lady by E.M. Delafied: "This is a gem of the 1930s, with one of the most funny characters in English literature: a country lady with a wry sense of humor. It's fascinating to compare a woman's life then with now!"
