Oh noo ..that is worse liking Austen because of Kate Witless who at least doesn't lie to make herself seem more intelligent

Quote " I am a huge fan of Iris Murdoch - of course I haven't had time to read any of her books" ... one wonders if it was the promiscuity or disloyalty that attracted La Winslet's admiration - or maybe some little known sphere of excellence - tiddlywinks perchance....

Persuasion is the best and Mansfield Park has interesting themes but an insufferable heroine. Northanger is the funniest especially if you have a taste for the Gothic Novel (which I have a spooky premonition that Thenamir might NOT) and the History of England is a little gem...
