ian Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Just read Persuasion. Not quite as good as P&P, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skírnir Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hmm, I at least know one man who appreciates her books. He is my history teacher and often quotes her as well as using scenes from her novels to represent class division when we're discussing aristocracy. I was personally talking to him today about Oscar Wilde and he mentioned Austen as being "second to none" when it comes to writing in beautiful English. He's tall, over 40 years old with a beard. Also looks pretty manly to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZyktheReader Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I personally enjoyed Pride and Prejudice. But I would agree it is more likely that more women will appreciate Austen's style than men will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEV67 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I have read all six of her novels. I have not read Lady Susan. I liked Pride and Prejudice and Emma the most. The others i did not think as good. All the same, I do not think men enjoy her books as much as women. I thought The History of Tom Jones was a better book than any of Austen's.
