Pickpick

I think this description of Sense and Sensibility by a teenage boy is my all time favorite. 🤣

Crinoline_Laphroaig @MargaretPinardAuthor 'I ask Mom if I can borrow one of her copies of Northanger Abbey—she‘s got a two-book minimum of everything Jane Austen wrote—and she goes, “Sure, sweetie,” and looks happy about it. The thing is, even though I kind of know Jane Austen (you can‘t live in this house and not know Jane Austen), I never really read Jane Austen, so I take the one with all the underlines and notes, to clue me in to what it‘s about.' 4y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @MargaretPinardAuthor Teen age boy with Austen loving mother and he's trying to impress a girl. It's fabulous! 4y
MargaretPinardAuthor @Crinoline_Laphroaig It sounds like it!! 😻 4y

My thoughts exactly! #teamElinor

"But does it follow that had he married you, he would have been happy?"

TheAromaofBooks And I actually love that next line even more - “The inconveniences would have been different“ - it's such a great reminder about life in general, that even if something had happened a different, “better“ way... it still wouldn't be perfect!! 5y
eeclayton @TheAromaofBooks That is so true! 😊 5y
