If I’m going to buy a collection should it be Jane Austin or Charles Dickens?
That’s a hard choice!!
I know!! I know I will eventually get both but idk who to start with!
I would go with Dickens. . .that would probably be the one I would start with
Why can’t you do both? Lol or one for Christmas and one for another holiday.
Well I know I will eventually by both and I was leaning towards starting with Dickens but I’m ballin on a budget here ??? so gotta get one at a time
Which one is more expensive?
Charles Dickens of course lol I’ve never read a Christmas carol I need to!
Get the more expensive one first.
Jane Austen.
Dear God, Jane Austin.
I’d go with Dickens but that’s because I have a complete set myself. They look lovely on my bookcase.

Hhh mixed collection of them both
Dickens so you have it in time for Christmas. Get Austen for the Spring.
Both!!❤️❤️
Austen you can read in a summer. Dickens could take several years. I prefer Austen.
Tough one!
I think Dickens.
But Jane is so good also!?
I have both, do it, though I’m still lacking on some Jane Austen and can’t find any more Charles Dickens.
If you have a kindle, his works are out of copyright and freely available online.
Jane Austen
Dickens – start with Pickwick Papers and read straight through his entire works.
Dickens
Austen; for me personally. I can’t get on with Dickens at all.
You might be best off with Austen.
Charles dickens
Austen
Jane Austen, for a happier reading experience.
Dickens.
Jane Austin
Austen!
Depends on your taste. I have a full collection of Dickens and he is the most helpful teacher for me. Fantastic writer, great master.
Both!
Dickens for sure

Both..
You’re well off either way!
Always Dickens
Such a hard call!
Jane Austen
Both

Jane Austen. I love Dickens but Austen is amazing! If you can’t go for both, go for Austen.
DICKENS
I love both, but Austin would be my choice. (But definitely get Dickens later!)
I would go for Jane Austen and then a selection of Dickens. ?
I personally prefer Charles Dickens, but honestly they’re both really good!
so far I love Jane Austen’s books
Tough choice, but I would go with Charles Dickens.
Dicken
Dang that’s a hard one
Dickens
Depends. Do you like long-winded prose with some good character detail, social issues (generally) as themes and decent plotting despite the unnecessary length? Or do you prefer to read witty, at times rather well-written, observations about society that do little more to challenge social constructs than that, but nonetheless discuss the age-old problem of interaction between the sexes in polite society?
why not both?
Both, if you can.
Oh my goodness. You couldn’t have picked two better authors. There are fewer Jane Austen novels, so it may be easier to start with her. Plus, she was published first, so you can get a good sense of how times changed between the Regency and Victorian Eras.
Dickens!!!
Both!
If you have Calibre on your computer, or an e-reader, or any e-app on a device, project gutenberg has the entirety of both for free download. (Legal and public domain). But for physical copies, Jane Austen all the way.
charles first !!! jane get the reader a bit serious!! after Charles you will enjoy jane 🙂
And if you want more enjoyment, download some free books by Anthony Trollope, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling (Kim), and James Galsworthy. 😉
