Reading Jane Austen
What I’ve been reading (2019-02-24)

Jenny Davidson, Reading Jane Austen .  I hardly know any books about Jane Austen, and indeed I don’t much enjoy reading her novels.  Still, this is the best book on Austen I have seen, take that for what it is worth.  It is very much to the point and furthermore the author writes: “I also hold a degree of suspicion toward those who love Austen, though, myself included.”

6. Jenny Davidson, Reading Style: A Life in Sentences .  Why do we fall in love with some sentences rather than others?  This book is consistently insightful into classic (and sometimes not so classic) fiction.  For whatever reason, I agree with her about various novels to a remarkable degree.  Here is Jenny’s daily read .  Here is her blog .  This book induced me to order Stephen King’s Needful Things , which I have never read.
