Retro Reads

The Jane Austen Book Club
by Karen Joy Fowler

Nowadays, books are really cutesy.  The shelves are flooded with books that appeal to foodies and those that like to travel AND those that really like Jane Austen.  This book hit the scene before all the rest.  So it was novel and fun.  And then they started adapting Jane Austen books for the vampire lovers.

I'm not sure I would think much of this book now.  Probably just as satisfying to watch the movie.  Or better yet, just eat a big tub of popcorn with junior mints dumped in.
