jonno's not defending Austen's reputation, and neither am I. Well, my view is as KL&F's (or is it vlad's?) - not to my taste at all, but that doesn't mean she's without talent.Khmeria wrote:white knights, staunchly defending the reputation of jane austen from my vicious attacks upon her literary reputation

Oh yes, now that's a bitch with balls. Literary balls, mind, not Bath Pump Room balls.KL&fool wrote:I like her, Andy, I just wouldn't put her in the pantheon of greats, that's all. I wouldn't particularly want to be stuck in a lift with her, either. Charlotte Bronte, now, would be an entirely different matter...andyinasia wrote:jonno's not defending Austen's reputation, and neither am I.

If you are going to compare a scientific text that's drier than a communion wafer to a Jane Austen novel, I can only imagine your life in Thailand to be a dull one.
Thanks for brightening up my life with your silly observations. You are awful, but I quite like your nuttiness. You seem to be one of those 'distinct, but clearly alive species' that CD mentions.
yes, I have read it. it was rather boring as a literary work.
but I don't think I said I was comparing their literary ability.
more like their contribution to our species.
and jane austen loses that battle.
