"Currently reading both this book and Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Both are fantastic but the contrast is giving me vertigo. From fluffy love-sick teenagers to intense mind-bending meditations on slavery, war, religion etc. And back again. I wonder if other people are like me in always reading books simultaneously. And if so, does one book affect the other? Because for me that's sort of how it is." — Jul 03, 2012 06:25am

Jeniffer Almonte added a status update: The irony of my current life: Working a lot means I can buy books without feeling guilty. Working so much means I have NO TIME to read the books I buy. I am going on vacation in a couple of weeks so hooray for that. :)

Jeniffer Almonte and 11 other people liked Teresa's review of Jane and Prudence: " This is the first book I've read by Pym and on that basis alone, I will say she is in the tradition of Jane Austen (the main character's Emma Woodhouse comment acknowledges this), Trollope (whom the character Jane is a reader of) and even Gaskell'...

“The house-cat is a four-legged quadruped, the legs as usual being at the corners. It is what is sometimes called a tame animal, though it feeds on mice and birds of prey. Its colours are striped, it does not bark, but breathes through its nose instead of its mouth. Cats also mow, which you all have heard. Cats have nine liveses, but which is seldom wanted in this country, coz' of Christianity. Cats eat meat and most anythink speshuelly where you can't afford. That is all about cats."

(From a schoolboy's essay, 1903.)”

“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.”
