Bell Jar.

Contact was good, but not first person.

Hatred of Jane Austen is pretty wide-spread, actually, My AP lit teacher ever dissed on her. I can't stand her, myself. But I suppose that's true for any author.

That should be a period after "actually".

Burgess - One hand clapping
Updike - The witches of Eastwick (not 1st person though)
Fowles - The Collector (only half of it from female perspective)

all three written by men, but still surprisingly (to me) accurate descriptions of the way women think

You probably can not see it because you are a sexist twat that looks past her brilliance in order to see all the negative parts of her books.

>>517622
no, Jane Austen's just a cunt.

Stop Fucking Trolling my thread you Hose Retractors!

>>517622

You know, you should just learn to shut the fuck up.

>Implying that Austen can write comprehensible "literature", let alone hold a pen. She probably just fucking facerolled on the keyboard, the writing is so bad.

>>517622
My high school teacher happened to be a rather intelligent man, and a former college professor at that.
And, is there something wrong with the word "diss"? It's perfectly viable word and meant exactly what I meant it to; 'to make a joke at the object's expense." Perhaps if you prefer "classics" simply because they do not offer the same threat of innovation as modern works. You like them because you know why you're supposed to like them, you lazy twat.

lol wut

You two just wish you were as handsome and manly as Mr. Darcy.

>>517637
Do not worry. I have your back.

>>517644
Sure, but that's beside the point.

>>517642

lol, I meant the typewriter. Fucking technology age, man.

>>517640
I like them because they are good books. I am way past my rebellious stages. I am not an angsty teenager like you.

And there is a reason your teacher is not a college professor anymore.

>>517650
typewriters were invented like 50 years after she wrote her books, broseph.

OP I really hope you noticed my humble contribution here >>517612 between all the Austen trolling (next time try choosing an image that has nothing to do with /lit/, posting with a book cover is an invitation for trolls)

>>517662

Balls. Then she drank the ink and drooled all over the paper, and somehow it was able to form itself into hardly intelligible words.

Basically, I care too little about Jane Austen and her terrible writing to place it into a time-frame.

>>517661
I'm not "rebelling" against anything except boring storytelling.

>>517687
You are rebelling against female writers because you have a small penis and no woman would ever touch you with a 10 foot ladder.

>>517583
My sis says "The End of Mr. Y" is awesome.

>>517734
Why would anyone want to or have any reason to touch anyone else with a ladder?

>>517741
Because poles are too mainstream

>>517747
>>I am way past my rebellious stages.

Whoops. I guess not.

>>517774
Rebellion is what mainstream teenagers go through. I happen to be so indie that I am rebelling from rebellion.

>>517667
Are you the dough man?
