Dear Bookworm,

I think that Jane Austen is one of the best writers in English Literature. What I admire about the book is the manner in which she chooses to analyze , and present, the intricacies of the characters of the people in such a small circle- it's just family and friends- and very ordinary happenings. Actually, when Charlotte Bronte read the book, she said that She didn;t like Jane Austen's prim and proper characters, who rode, in their chaises, to and from parties- she preferred the wildness of the moors and passion to 'cultivated gardens.' Who would really want to meet and live with Catherine Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights? Give me Elizabeth Bennet anyday!
