meganbmooreNot sure who all has been following sarahtales's "Gothic Tuesdays" (in which she parodies gothic novels) or "Sleuth Thursdays" (in which she discusses ladysleuths- I consider the lack of Laura Holt and Amelia Peabody posts tragic, but that's just me) but they have come to a close with Northanger Abbey, the post for which also includes links to all the other posts, so you can click the link below and spend a few hours laughing more than your ribs would like.
JANE AUSTEN: I hear from the newspapers and dude novelists that ladies are physically incapable of fancying dudes unless the dudes are into them first. Newspapers and dude novelists, you are full of it. Catherine Morland wanted to rock Henry Tilney a) like a hurricane, b) like a wagon wheel and c) all night long. Jane out!
Meanwhile, the internet (or at least my reading lists) appears to be conspiring to get me to watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, so perhaps I should finally get around to that. The question is whether or not I should read the book first.
