It wasn't bad, not good or great as everyone claims but I found it alright, I liked all the symbolism of the Gothic imagery and weather.

Does /lit/ have an opinion on Ed Abbey? I read Desert Solitaire a few months ago and loved it, especially his descriptions of the land and his general life views. I'm also thinking of reading Fool's Progress next.

I am from the UK so I am interested in hearing views from actual 'Muricans who have read him, since most of the issues he brings up, although universal, are related particular to the USA.

I really enjoyed it. It's a fairly short read, and I'm not too sure whether it being translated into English takes away from it, but if you read into the cultural/lingual footnotes that some editions have then you really get the full experience.

Even better; read it twice.

I'll post a Jane Austen trigger warning next time.

I'm a big Patrick O'Brian fan and he's always being compared to her, so I thought I'd give her a try.

So far I was mixed on Sense and Sensibility, loved Pride and Prejudice and hated Mansfield Park. Today I read various MP apologia which basically insisted she was only pretending to be retarded and lol i troll u. Not buying it. But the way she writes in counterpoint to her true meaning so easily elsewhere forces me to admit I could be wrong.

So far Emma is PnP tier so I'm hoping the last one was just an outlier, either in her execution or in my understanding.
