Re: Jane Austen revival

I will have a go at reading most things.....but hated Zadie Smith....managed to get through Catch 22, but didn't really enjoy it........enjoyed Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children.....struggled with Sophie's World, such a slim volume I thought I would get through it in a night.....it took me something like 3 WEEKS! But I learned a lot about world philosophy. Jane Austen...... the Bronte sisters.....Charles Dickens....No, I would rather read the cornflake packet.
