I've heard the Austen zombie books are actually pretty good though ...
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies;
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters;
Android Karenina (not Austen, but close enough)

I might work Emma into that with some friendly persuasion.........

Mark Twain said, ‘any library is a good library that doesn’t contain a volume by Jane Austin, even if it contains no other book’.
The main problem AMERICAN women have finding a man is themself. They are products of the American Feminist teaching and doomed to failure in finding a man.
Any young man that marries an “Americanized” woman is an idiot. It will cost him dearly.
yuck I can’t stand Sherlock Holmes. Oh well, I was an English major too and thought Jane’s stuff was great
Austen is definitely a matter of taste. Some swear by her, others swear at her. I’m on your side. Torture!
oh yeah, Catcher in the Rye is totally disgusting. And it is a part of the “progressive” movement.
It ain't that simple. You left out the woman's faults and have only listed men's "faults". Marriage is a two way street.
A guy I work out with has been married 20 years. His wife never had a high libidio and she literally stopped having sex with him 5 years ago. He is in his late 40's. He has tried everything to get her to be more affectionate to no avail. He is a great guy, keeps in shape, great provider etc but he is screwed, well not literally.
I am single in my mid 20's though I am in a long term relationship. No wonder I have no fascination on getting married at this point.
Actually my younger daughter just informed me that she got the Marvel version of Pride and Prejudice. They said it was a lot less boring.
My single experience was not a very pleasant one..I wasn't into the bar thing and that was a big part of the singles scene....The women I dated tended to be long term relationships so I was off the market for long periods of time....I found the whole dating thing superficial.....I'm a whole lot deeper then my skin so I found that type of situation uncomfortable. I did much better in one on one types of encounters. Much less BS.
Because most of the women are lesbians, or want to be men.
Those that aren't are sleeping around, don't have a job, are alcoholics or drug addicts, AND have PMS.
“What is it that Jane Austen heroines do (that we’re not doing) that makes really satisfying happy endings possible for them, and not so likely for us?”
I stand speechless before the incomprehensible stupidity of that question.
We had a very young, right out of college, English teacher.
She made us read “Catcher in the Rye” and Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises”........Two books about guys that can’t get laid.............
You single?
>>Oh well, I was an English major too and thought Jane’s stuff was great<<
Yeah, that’s probably it.
We have one medical major and two engineers in the making.
I guess that’s why girls hate science....
Men will always be men.... for good or ill.
When you are easy to please, anything pleases you.
Women need to have more self-respect and discernment; because women control their own destinies in this society.
P&P as a comic book?????........
What I mean by “self-actualization” is that garbage spewed into our environment by “life coaches” “psychologists” and “social workers” that you have to “do something for you”. Men really like that garbage.
