in consequence of the missive, Is Persuasion your favorite? Why?, penned by Stacey GC
I agree with the sentiments of everyone who has responded. But I'll add something else that may seem petty: Austen packs a lot into a relatively short novel. If you're looking for something that has depth, nuance and feeling but is not going to take a long time to read, Persuasion is a great choice.
