I would appreciate it so much! 7 Deleted by topic administrator 11-25-2006 08:50 PM 6 Bookninja 09-03-2005 04:44 PM ET (US) Remember all those Jane Austen movies? The people who went to them are still around. The doors of the elegant Georgian town house in Bath swung open promptly at 10 yesterday morning and the first of the "Janeites" swept in. In the course of the day, 300 or so visitors were given scholarly insights into the city's impact on the life and work of Jane Austen, and a flavour of how Bath would have looked and felt in Regency times. And then most of them were tempted into the Jane Austen Centre's gift shop, where they could choose souvenirs ranging from Austen fridge magnets to tea towels, from Austen cross-stitch kits to goat's-milk soap.

I pretty much stopped reading at that point. My sinuses made a long squealing noise that I took to be a sign of approval. Home 4 Bookninja 02-08-2005 08:17 AM ET (US) Gentlemen, we can rebuild her... Jane Austen gets rebuilt for Bollywood by Bend It Like Beckham (great film) director. Look for Bride and Prejudice at a theatre or, sadly only twenty minutes later, video store near you.

Now hold on there, pardner... Austen, it appears, is our new Shakespeare. In pop-culture terms, that is. Two hundred years after her novels were written, she's ascended to that level where her work is widely imitated, flippantly quoted, frequently ripped off and, yes, very much revered -- by those who have actually read her, that is. Cite Jane these days and it's like playing a smart card. Remember how puffed up you felt the first time you quoted from Hamlet by heart? Um, I was auditioning for something and I felt deflated and judged to the most minute aspect of my physical appearance. To this day I twitch when I hear Hamlet quoted -- and only half of that is an urge to kill the pretentious semi-educated fuck doing it.
