Sense and Sensibility
by Jane Austen

I want to see the movie version of this book at some point, so I had to read it before I saw the film. It's Austen's first published novel, and I think it's a little less refined than her later novels. But it contains that same understated sarcasm that made me like Pride and Prejudice, so even though I didn't get too attached to the characters, I enjoyed the book.
