Iacobus Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Okay, some of you know me... I am rather picky about what I read. I dislike most female writers I have read, they don't intrest me, so I don't as a rule, read female authors. And today at the bookstore and bought and intend to read both [i]Persuasion[/i] (by Jane Austen) and [i]Jane Eyre[/i] (by Charlotte Brontë). I have no will power, lol, or am brainwashed to easily by the BBC and Colleen and Vera . Please don't think any less of my "rasist, sexist pig" (LOL! inside joke with people at school, I don't like Far Eastern lit, it is just I don't know, lol I just don't like it, and I don't like American lit so I am rasist. And I am sexist because I hated To Kill a Mocking Bird and Ethan Frome, lol) comments . For the record I can justify my not liking what I don't like and I tried it therefore I am not a rasist sexist pig in relatiy. But it is too funny, kinda. You have to know Lisa to understand it I guess, lol. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
