But! Mysteries of Udolpho!! I haven't read it, but we talked about it in Austen contexts so much that I feel like I've read it. After you finish it, you should totally read Northanger Abbey - it's one big mockery of Udolpho and Radcliffe's ilk (and if you want *really* sketchy gothic, try The Monk...), and it's much different from the rest of the Austen canon. Highly amusing. Sadly, no nuns.
