donutage, Tafadhali
Explications
donutage: I made a point of completing my reading of Austen's novels recently. Pride and Prejudice remains my favorite, and there's much to be said for all the others, but this one stood out to me because it is so different from its siblings. Essentially a parody of the popular gothic novel, it is full of delightful narratorial asides about what *ought* to happen according to the genre's conventions and how this novel will fail to deliver them.

Explications
aulsmith : It's a long, meandering fantasy book, not likely to appeal to a general reader.
