Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I love Austen although I couldn't actually worship her if only because anyone who prefers Fanny Price to Elizabeth Bennett does not share my views on women, even if that person is the woman who created them both.

While I find the anti-Austen stance puzzling, I am consoling myself that at least you all have the good taste to dislike her writing solely on aesthetic grounds. When I was in college, I had all these neo-hippie friends who didn't like her because they just couldn't "identify" with all the upper crust British characters. Whatev.

Rather like hummus.

And now we're dissing hummus too? Is there no limit?!?

Because books.

I like Austen's stories and characters very much, generally. It's her style that bogs me down.

Hummus is delicious!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is there no limit?!?

Hummus??? Ewww.

Because books.

I've heard there are even people who don't like BACON!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I like turkey bacon!

Hummus is chickpeas! What's there to like?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Bacon smells gross.
