I don't dislike all Jane Austen -- I rather like Sense and Sensability, there were enough characters in it to which I could relate that made it tolerable. That, and I find Kate Winslet very easy on the eyes. (Oops, don't let Mrs. Thenamir hear that!)

After seeing several Austen titles in the form (X) And (Y) like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensability, etc, When Dumb and Dumber came out I had to wonder if Austen had written it as the story of the elder Mrs. Bennett and her remaining daughters...

EDIT: After cross posting with Bethberry, I have to remark that perhaps A Brief History of Time be included in the Fiction section. I mean let's be real here, the man is discussing what happened in the first quintillionth of a second after the Big Bang with a straight face. (Actually, owing to the ravages of the disability which afflicts him, Hawking technically says everything with a straight face, but you know what I meant.)
