And honestly, Tolkien fan though I am, The Hobbit is the only book I've reread multiple times. I enjoy LOTR, but it is . . . so much work to get through. So don't feel bad about that.
Jane Austen is a great choice! It would be fascinating to see her reaction to how well received her works still are, and the various interpretations that have happened over the years.
