"Later Manuscripts" from the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen. It's about the size of a brick and a half, I doubt if I'll get through it...


One of the companion volumes "Jane Austen in Context" is far more interesting.

Several things at present but my favorite is Clive James, Cultural Amnesia. Love it, his writing is captivating no matter what (or who) it's about.
