Jane Austen: 'What, me sexy?'
By Ronni Berke and Carol Costello
Move over, Angelina - make room for Jane. Jane Austen.
This beloved author of the ultimate "chick" novel turns 235 years old this week, yet she still sets hearts aflutter.
Austen's novels, where the art of conversation between the sexes reigns supreme, remain popular even among today's technology-obsessed, multi-tasking young women. On Facebook, Austen has 246,952 fans, who call themselves "Janeites." The Jane Austen Society of America has 65 regional groups and counts 4,000 members.
What is it about her books that resonates with today's women? In part, the Austen obsession is a rejection of what passes for modern romance, in such movies like the upcoming "Friends with Benefits," about friendship, sex, and then taking whatever comes.
In Austen's world, nothing is sexier than the intellectual sparring between a man and a woman.
