My gf studies Enlish and totally loves Janes Austen. I think they're great make-out movies and I find them hilarious because they remind me of that TV-show from Max Payne. I'm sorry that I'm an uncultivated pig

Austen's a bitter bitch, but the Brontes are good if you like grimdark, especially Charlotte.

ymmv, they're usually trotted out as muh empowered women, especially Austen, which is hilarious because most of the way she bitches is how pretentious women bitch about other people having no substance. If someone lists Austen as their favourite female writer, it's a sign they're a bitter dick and probably out for "female writer" points, and you should run far away from them.

I'd say if you like architecture and revenge tales, try Wuthering Heights. Though I don't like it, it is a good book.

Jane Eyre is probably the best of all the Brontes' books imo, but it's pretty constant awful things followed by more inhuman things if you don't want to read about human suffering and life being unfair.

There're much better female authors so usually people who list them as "proof" there's good female authors are idiots with no taste and only memes.

George Elliot.

Countless of great authors love Austen. Even people like Nabokov, who was famous for hating female writers.

Austin is a perfect prose-stylist, satirist and sketch of a type of human being. Yes, she can be boring if you're not interested in the comedy of manners, but that's your fault, not hers. She's superb at what she does.

What she does is bitch like a spinster pretending she's not buttmad. If you're into that, yeah she's great.

Austen is great. I read pride & Prejudice lately and really enjoyed it. I've heard good things about the Bronte sisters as well.

I really like Wuthering Heights, it's constructed really carefully and has a great atmosphere and these wild, savage, memorable characters. I will admit the second half drags but it's still worth reading.

W-what is this and why can't image search find it?

it's something in the mushroom familia

my bet is on truffs

Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books. Other than the fact that it's gorgeously written, it's got some dark, eerie vibes that I really enjoyed. Very different from most Austen books I've read. I enjoyed Pride & Prejudice as well, but I prefer JE.

i almost never drop a book but sense and sensibility bored the arse off me, i dropped it 2/3 way through. wuthering heights is great though, and villette has its moments (probably would have been better if it had been trimmed a bit)
