« Freebie Friday: "Villain" by Shuichi Yoshida | Main | On Yellowstone, bison charges and Mormons »
In what's becoming a weekly feature, here's another hilarious literary-inspired viral video. The fake trailer combines Austen's favorite heroines -- Lizzy Bennett, Emma Woodhouse, the Dashwood sisters -- with Chuck Palahniuk's Tyler Durden. But don't worry: Even if you've never read Austen or "Fight Club," it's not spoiling anything that you haven't already seen in a few movie trailers.
And in this movie, I think I'd actually like Fanny Price!
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.

Somehow I doubt that dear Jane would approve.
