“Dressing up and going to a ball is like reading Jane Austen in a way that listening to an analysis of Jane Austen is not.” Pg 84

The more I read this I realize he is an Austen fan, minus the dress up part.

Seems like he’s doing all of this to please his mom. This is a confusing book but an honest look at relationships. Austen’s works are more of his mother’s passion, he’s just there along for the ride.

This is definitely a not so interested guy’s perspective in Jane Austen “mania.” But I think that goes for any other mania of fans really immersing themselves in the world of whatever it is. From the outside looking in, it looks weird and excessive. From the inside it’s an shared creative experience.
