Book Review

The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler

Not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. I wouldn't recommend it if you haven't read Jane Austen though. An excerpt I found amusing, here they are talking about a riot at a school for wayward girls:
"It was blamed on violent lesbians." "Ah," Allegra said, "of course," when Sylvia could see no of course about it. How many riots blamed on violent lesbians had Allegra heard about?
Or maybe that had been an impressed "of course." Maybe Allegra felt a sneaking admiration for toilet-hurling lesbians."

The last sentence is my favorite-it's not just an admiration, it's a sneaking admiration!
