Thanks again to weekend wordsmith
"She's never read any Jane Austen?"
"NONE! Not Pride and Prejudice even"
"But she's such a pseudo-romantic~well, she loves those sleazy romance novels, you know the ones with hot men and heaving bosoms on the covers. Aren't they sort of a lower class Jane Austen?"
"Yeah and all those rolling Irish/English countryside novels...the really thick ones with lots of characters and at least one rich-grumpy yet loving dowager matriarch."
"And her movies... You've got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle and Two Weeks Notice and Notting Hill. "I'm also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her." Gross."
"BUT she's a middle aged, going gray, round, eye-glass wearing, still single librarian for God's sake! Don't they have to read Jane Austen to be allowed to check out books?"
"I know, but I'm telling you~she's never read Jane Austen!"

Lovely...and I can't imagine anyone who hasn't read Austen!! :)
I haven't read any either. I have however seen a number of the movies. I can handle my chickness only in short bursts...
me either... too stuffy for my taste... tried and cannot seem to get into it... so you are in good company... well at least i would like to think i am good company.....
We were just saying tonight how romantic Sense and Sensibility is. My favorite I think.
