Read everything Jane Austen wrote. She is all the cliches people warn about with women writers, but she is ALSO a genius, and a great understander of the human heart, so even when she writes about domestic affairs and interpersonal relationships among a small group of people, it feels titantic, because there is a study of human beings going on here.

Read Emma. Read Sense & Sensibility too. Pride & Prejudice is good, but overrated, and everybody reads it, so I encourage you to go off the beaten path a bit.
