Austenland

This is a fun read for anyone who loves Jane Austen...or more specifically Mr. Darcy (aka Colin Firth, the only real Mr. Darcy.) It's a short fun read, and I definitely recommend it. Here's a synopsis as stolen from Barnes and Noble...

Jane is a young New York woman who can never seem to find the right man—perhaps because of her secret obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Predjudice. When a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-obsessed women, however, Jane’s fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become realer than she ever could have imagined. Is this total immersion in a fake Austenland enough to make Jane kick the Austen obsession for good, or could all her dreams actually culminate in a Mr. Darcy of her own?

This is what I was going to recommend next. You can't read this book too many times.

I have never been an Austin fan but even this sounds appealing. :)
