How insulting to even mention these two women in the same sentence.

One is a popular, talented novelist .. the other is popular for having no talent.

It should be a crime that people like this jersey shore crowd (don't get me started on the palins) are even given book deals much less to compare them with actual 'writers'. tsk, for shame.

eri 68, I was thinking the same thing. Since I absolutely worship Jane Austen, and I'm serious here, II think this article is an absolute travesty against one of the greatest writers ever. And I mean ever. How dare one defile such a talent with trash?

fanned and faved. I have to for someone who so ardently protects Jane.

fanned and faved in return for the use of 'ardently'

I really must watch Pride & Prejudice again tonight.

Woww. Am I still in the Book section? Whoever the above idea belongs to should seriously reconsider a new line of work.

I'm sorry did they really ask who gives better life instructions between Jane "Freaking" Austin! and JWoww? I don't know if I should be shocked, offended or both.

My 17yr old poodle gives better "life instructions" than anyone from Jersey Shore.
