Thanks Todd. Looks like it won't be fixed until next week. In the meantime, I'll try doing this from my phone.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Matthew, and I hope you get your computer repaired or replaced soon.

Just a head's up. I'm experiencing computer problems once more. In this case my laptop isn't charging at all. I'm hoping this is an easy fix but it might not be. So I'm probably not going to be showing up around here for the next few days.
If there's any updates I'll be sure to fill you in.

Sorry for the double post, but I just found this.

Jane Austen's work does have a very tenuous connection with some of Greg Weisman's work. Another of her books, "Northanger Abbey", was a parody of Gothic fiction, which the main character had read a lot of (too much of, she concludes, when she jumps to some wrong assumptions based on it); one of her favorite Gothic works was Ann Radcliffe's "The Mysteries of Udolpho", which in turn got a couple of cameos in "Young Justice".

Now this I can't weigh in on. Never really liked Jane Austin, I had to read "Pride and Prejudice" for British literature and I remember it being such a slog.

Second.

Continuing my thoughts on Goliath discovering classic authors - the next one on Greg Weisman's list was Jane Austen. Her works would probably seem even more foreign to Goliath - not only are the settings of her stories a far cry from tenth century Scotland, but from modern-day Manhattan (especially the grittier side which Goliath would see so much of). They might, even, indicate to him that the world went through a lot of different phases during his thousand year sleep, and his current surroundings are just the latest one.

Although the "comedy of manners" setting, such as balls, would indeed be almost another planet to Goliath, he's clearly learned how to engage in elegant dancing, judging from his "Beauty and the Beast" moment with Elisa in "Eye of the Beholder".
