I have a library book that I took out in your honor only because of the title. The Jane Austen Club.

I am not rude enough to use today's word about anyone here, but I loved the first quote. Your students might like it. I had to look up Primo Levi-- I had never heard of him. he sounds as if he is worth reading. My "perfect" reader is not a scholar but neither is he an ignoramus; he does not read because he has to, nor as a pastime, nor to make a splash in society, but because he is curious about many things, wishes to choose among them and does not wish to delegate this choice to anyone; he knows the limits of his competence and education, and directs his choices accordingly. --Primo Levi, "This Above All: Be Clear," [1]New York Times, November 20, 1988
