Reminder that Jane Austen is the greatest pleb filter in the Western Canon.

Plebs inevitably, consistently get hung up on the fact that she's a woman who writes about relationships. All they can see is a woman writing about love, and so they dismiss her. They consider female authors automatically worthy of dismissal, and consider relationships between people in ordinary settings as an unworthy subject of literature.

Patricians, on the other hand, are willing to take Austen on her own terms, or at least ignore their objections to her, and are rewarded with the brilliance of her story construction and insights into humanity.

Austen herself wrote a pleb filter called "Pride and Prejudice." This is how she catches all the other plebs, most of them female.

this. Anyone who doesn't see the intentional irony laced through Austen's work is guaranteed to be plebian.

She's sharp-witted, observant, funny, and her sentences are perfect.

I don't care how good you tell me is, I'm not reading any "literary" book by a woman because I don't value their insights. They should stick to children's books and manga.

I've always found her stories are better than her prose. Jane Austen books are the only ones that I agree the movies are typically better than sitting down and reading them.

I thoroughly enjoyed dorohedoro while it was still on the rails, there is full metal alchemist which I haven't read but enjoyed the anime, mushishi, and Ranna 1/2 for at least the huge influence it had.

Dickens was and always will be better.

Nope. Getting rid of the narrator robs you of a huge chunk of the intelligence of the books.

That doesn't actually deal with the point of the post, even if you weren't wrong. ;)
