As far as I know no one will try to quiz you on your reading material, though there's at least one rude character around here who will call you out if you misspell any authors' names. Welcome, and may the orthographic forces be with you. |

More telling will be what he thinks of Austen.

Did we ever establish if Creekster dislikes Austen in general or only to Pride and Prejudice in particular? I, for one, have never heard him say anything negative about Northanger Abbey (and I even baited him once to try to get him to take a shot at Catherine Morland). I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that his ire is mostly confined to a dislike of a certain Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Sorry, Kilgore. You'll have to forgive us for taking over your thread. I'd say it won't happen again, but such is pretty much the norm around here. It's rather a point of pride, even.

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.
