his use of the word always seems out of place and ill fitting. it reads like he does it for the sake of it, as though he must use the word somewhere in his writing. got any ideas??
That's strange. It is Ms Austen's observation of human nature that is shallow. Either that, or the women whom she portrays are shallow. A prime example is the great Emma Woodhouse herself, a vapid, insipid creature full of self-delusional dreams and fancies, and who, worst of all, looks to doing ocassional bouts of charity that are described with unnerving 'condescension' on Ms Austen's part. Charlotte Bronte's women are so much more their own people.

Atonement is absolutely brilliant.

McEwan seems very shy. In all his interviews, it seems kind of uncomfortable and painful for him. But I would like to read his work!

I'm reading Atonement and I love the book so far and I think it's only going to get better.

He is a great writer. But I find it depressing that human nature hasn't changed if it still reaches out for a Jane Austen book. Ugh.

That's sad. Do you really have such a narrow view of your sex? I have met women who hate Austen.

I can tell by your dismissal of Austen that you are a shallow observer of human nature--and therefore an poor reader.
