ok, so i have been informed that my pick for book club in feb 2003 is not a popular one.......jane austen's persuasion......a social satire not a novel.......my last 3 picks have been equally as unpopular...colette's cherie..........virginia wolfe's to the light house......sue grafton's a is for alibii.........surely my taste in reading does not mesh with the danville running community......year after year.............of course i suffered through undaunted courage...but those who will not give jane a second thought are cowards at the very least..........jane austin is the most pure writer of prose to come along in 3 centuries let alone 2.........and i am not even a janite........
