Actually, you spelled it both ways in your OPEr, yeah. I mentioned I liked British authors? Yeah, take a look at the way I spelled "favorite" in the first post...The embarrassing thing is I had no idea I did that!
The last time was the correct spelling, however 
As a Canadian, that is how I want to spell it, also, though my auto correct is always disagreeing. A couple of years ago I had an e-reader (still have it) and was reading about four books a week. You have probably read my all times faves having mentioned Jane Austen (I also remember reading many of the James Herriot, so quaint), so I will tell you those titles and authors I read recently that stood above the crowd 
I am not sure of their nationalities...Aaagh! That I didn't notice. It all comes of too much reading. Anyway, thanks for sharing your favourite authors/books with me, looks like some good ones!Actually, you spelled it both ways in your OP

Jane Austen is one of my top two authors. The other one is Ayn Rand. Have you read any of her fiction? We The Living, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged are very good reads, though not what many would likely recommend here (she was an atheist). The other author I would like to mention here is M.J. Trow. He has written over 25 fiction books, in three main series, but it is the 'Inspector Lestrade' books, based on the character from the Sherlock Holmes stories, that I wish to recommend. They were hilarious, though the comedy was very much tied to modern (for my age group at least) cultural phenomena worked into historical times. Good luck!
You are very welcome! Most of the books I mentioned I read relatively recently, but for the Rand and Trow (although I just re-read all three Rand books again, I think the last two mentioned I have read five and six times now, respectively
). There are others I would recommend also but may not be appropriate. Like Anne Rice (Lestst series) and Jean Aeul's Children of the Earth series. Hush! Did I say that out loud? I didn't hear a sound

Thank you!
Jane Austen I have also read countless times, and watched the movies more than once also. I even watched The Fountainhead movie not too long ago. LOL. The books of course were so much better. I have also read the Lestat series multiple times, and The Earth Children series also. It is how I know what my favourites are: I keep coming back to them, time and time again Atlas Shrugged was the first book I read on my e-reader. I had started reading it in pdf form on my desktop when I bought the new device, so switched over... oh my goodness, the digital spelling errors! The great thing about the reader, though, was that you could put your finger on a word and options would open. I could access a dictionary, or go to wiki to read up on Haile Selassie, for instance. I really liked those features! . I'll still take one down and browse through it when I don't have anything to do. when getting suggestions my motto is "don't believe everything you hear." all of these will be subject to scrunity before I think about reading them.Thank you!
Heh, yeah, don't believe it is all about menstruationNo worries
A mini series was made from the book recently, but as usual it was not as good as the book. The book was a fictionalized account of Dinah's story from her own perspective. Dinah? The only daughter of Jacob (that we know of) through his wives, Rachel and Leah.
I have seen them all!
Oh but some of the older ones are now so dated they are too painful to watch any more. LOL. And you know what else I like? I like how I start to think the way they talk. I wish I could maintain that longer
Thank you!
I have seen them all!
and similar things.
I think it is e pub that has a feature where you can correct the errors and then save the corrected version for further use, and even transfer it over to another device, but most times you can easily figure out what the error is, though in Atlas Shrugged there was one error every time an apostrophe was used in a certain context, it did something weird, every single time! And there was one sentence, where the error was so bad and so compounded that for the life of me I could not figure it out, and had to scan back through the pdf and find that same sentence there to get the meaning. And then of course there is the problem of everything being on "the same page" with an e-reader. So there is no remembering, oh, it was on the left side of the book, about a third of the way down, half way through the story. Nope! None of that to try to help you find something. E-readers have their advantages to be sure, but there is nothing quite like holding a real book in your hands.

I might actually have Calibre, on my daughter's recommendation, but not having anyone to show me how to use it, I got bogged down in the technicalities that only seem to look so easy to use after you have figured them out
