Yeah the other Earthsea books weren't even good. That's all I have though... Rand maybe but I never finished Atlas, I didn't feel like trudging through all of it for the message I already knew was coming. I had to read Little Women in high school and I was so glad my mom bought the wrong edition (only the first half the book) because it was worse than watching paint dry.
Jane Austin is pretty good. Her humor is as cold and dry as a fresh razor blade.
Yeah I really do like Jane Austen. She is actually very good at lampooning silly women as well as men. She’s fairly even handed. She understood sexual politics very well. Of course she was ultimately a hopeless romantic which was totally unwarranted.

Well, she had to make some money, and the happy "Reader, I married him" endings sell.
Found the female
Nope. I didn't get her at all when I was young, but now I appreciate where she is coming from. Marriage, and sarcastic barbs from the mother in law helped. I think girls understand her straight off because they are so evil to each other from an early age.
