Re: Favourite Jane Austin novel
One of my favourites is Persuasion, partly because I think it might be the most autobiographical novel by her. I think she did have some romantic involvement with a naval captain during her time in Bath although in the end she never married. Perhaps your gf knows more on this subject.
Thanks

Re: Favourite Jane Austin novel
What an intellectual you are, welcher!
I'd bet that you haven't read Kafka, Joyce, Thomas Mann, Lawrence, Eliot, Dostoyevsky, Hugo, Tolstoy, nor Faulkner either. Probably philosophy is too taxing for you. Phenomonology, existentialism, and decontructionalism I'd bet aren't your cup of tea. No good redneck would ever read Husserl, Satre, Heiddigger, or Diderot. I'd bet that you haven'r even read Thus Spake Zarathustra. Oh wait! True mental giants like you probably read the Drudge Report!

Re: Favourite Jane Austin novel
Zeno,
I know who he is; I just wondered how he fit into the list. An old PBS show featured a guy who used Colonial woodworking methods, and he would often illustrate concepts using Diderot's encyclopedia.

Re: Favourite Jane Austin novel
You don't have to be poorly educated or anti-intellectual to think reading Heidegger, Hegel, Sartre, etc. is boring, or a waste of time.
Plus I agree w/ Utah that having a favorite JA novel makes you kind of girly.

Re: Favourite Jane Austin novel
It's an inside joke. Utah laughingly accuses others of being psuedo intellectual, and claims that some huckster that he paid for an IQ test called him a genius.
I'm not saying your stupid if you aren't well read. You can hardly be intellectual, however, without a broad knowledge of history, philosophy, economics, literature, and the arts.

Re: Favourite Jane Austin novel
[ QUOTE ]
... I just wondered how he fit into the list. [/ QUOTE ] I sort of figured that was the case, but I blabbed away anyway. Perhaps a bit silly of me but not a first, I am sure. The 'philosopher' list is, I guess, discordant in some ways. But I couldn't really tell - some of the people are unknown to me. An admittance of my inadequacies as an 'intellectual'. By the way, I have not read any Jane Austin. I did, however, read the marvel action comic edition of Nietzsche's 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'. The illustrations were top notch but I was baffled by the text. I shall make an effort to be more circumspect in the future and curb my misanthropy – I place the above screed as evidence of this. -Zeno PS: That old PBS show, was that something called 'Yankees workshop' or something similar? I think I saw a few episodes long ago when the world was young and gay. No 'modern tools' were ever used etc.
