The relief in the classroom is palpable; the energy of class discussion spikes. It’s certainly not that my students mistake Austen’s world for our own. After all, her novels revolve around the make-or-break perils of a highly ritualized marriage market. Rather, it’s Austen’s smart-girl voice: peppery, wry, eye rolling — that seems so close to modern consciousness. Austen could be gal pals with Tina Fey and Lena Dunham; she talks to us directly, bridging time and custom. ”

I feel like there are many movies to be excited about this year, and this one might top the list. Michel Gondry doing his Gondry thing—a la Eternal Sunshine and Science of Sleep.

Stephen Fry seems to have the right attitude about most things. This comparison reminds me of those times when I use stairs just for the fun of it, even if elevators are availible. It requires more energy and it takes a little longer, but you feel better doing it.
Stephen Fry’s take on the e-reader vs. book argument.

“
That you can learn to write better is one of our fundamental assumptions. No sensible person would deny the mystery of talent, or for that matter the mystery of inspiration. But if it is vain to deny these mysteries, it is useless to depend on them. No other art form is so infinitely mutable. Writing is revision. All prose responds to work. ”
