So while in the kitchen at work, one of my coworkers noted that I had the new Diana Wynne Jones book, and asked me if I had read any others. Bemused, I allowed that I had read pretty much everything she had written, and so after talking a bit about DWJ books, she mentioned that she was surprised to see I had read "Sorcery and Cecilia", since that was more in the genre of regency romances like say, those of Jane Austin.
At that point I had to tell her I liked Jane Austen because of her snarkiness. She laughed, saying she'd never heard of Jane Austin being called snarky. Even though, well, Jane Austen really IS snarky, in a mannered way.
I like my work. It has people who have DWJ novels on order.
