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

CB--or any of the brontes--and no austen. austen writes about the pretty aspects of life in a (for me) mediocre way, the brontes write about harsh and ugly things in a beautiful way. there's simply no contest, in my eyes.
