@forpeterssake @bookstodon I kept in mind that it's a novel Austen didn't finish so S1 was not going to be as Austen-esque as I wanted. BUT, taking Austen out of the picture, and thinking of it as just a period piece, I really enjoyed it!

@ukaunz @bookstodon It's a shame that most “to be read" lists contain western authors, primarily US and UK.

ExcessivelyDiverting,
@ExcessivelyDiverting@romancelandia.club avatar

@BillySmith @ukaunz @bookstodon I'd rephrase that to “mostly" English. I have people post in German and Italian in my feed (that I catch; probably other languages as well). And I would also say, “do not always have great literacy" as if we don't speak a second language, translations are available. Clarice Lispector (Brazilian Portuguese) is one. Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco (both Italian), and Chinua Achebe (Nigerian) are others. Don't make absolutes.
