:lol: Amazing. Lack that friend I was talking to once who told me she loved the last Jane Austen, "the one with the zombies". I felt very alone all of a sudden, while she was trying to convince me that it was actually Austen who wrote it.


I had sort of the reverse happen to me on a date. We were talking about what we were reading and I mentioned I had just finished up Will Self's Dorian. My date corrected me, letting me know that Wilde wrote The Picture of Dorian Grey and proceeded to patronize me instead of letting me explain that Self did a reworking of the novel, set in the 80s. Good times.

What a coincidence. The last time I went on a date, I explained I was reading Stephen Potter's "One-Upmanship." She asked "Are you having any trouble understanding it?"
