I love Jane Austen. I have read three of her books so far. I've read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite. Emma is a little slower than the other two, but I love Mr. Knightly.
If you like listening to books on tape you would probably like Librivox.org . It is a website full of audio books. Everything is in the public domain and is read by volunteers. There are a lot of Jane Austen books on there as well as a lot of other good stuff.
