the ultimate question

[theladyrose]

I have no idea why this popped into my head, but it did:

If you had to choose, would you rather read Charlotte Brönte with a touch of Jane Austen or Jane Austen with a touch of Charlotte Brönte?

(Did I steal that question from Little Women? I could swear I remember reading of this question somewhere before.)

Edit: I'll confess, I'm rooting for Charlotte with just a bit of Austen's wit

i personally found austen to be the more capable writer--and bronte's uber-gothic-soapy-drama kind of turned me off. so austen w/ a bit of bronte, ah oui!
