Ever see the movie Pride & Prejudice, based on Jane Austen's most famous novel? Ever wonder why women melt at the mere mention of that movie? Ever wonder why men roll their eyes and shake their heads at the mention of the same movie?
In my opinion, Mark Twain summed it up well when he said "Jane Austen? Why I go so far as to say that any library is a good library that does not contain a volume by Jane Austen. Even if it contains no other book."
