I read dead people, continued

Thanks to the Disorganized Librarian for suggesting I use the above phrase for a title. Am now currently wending my way through Iris Murdoch's first novel Under the Net (c1954), about a charming slacker, Jake Donaghue, who gets into all sorts of (mis)adventures; and Mansfield Park, another of Jane Austen's greatest hits. As you know, Jane is Jo Rowling's favorite writer, and a seminal influence on many an esteemed scribe.
