A People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn

I think maybe the reason I connect so well with Austen is because she doesn't bring the god into it. And also why Mansfield Park can be so hard to digest, because it's based on this antiquated religion-based code of morality that skirts fundamentalist.

Oh nooo, but I like Mansfield Park a lot! Because I read it as 'essentially the dark side of Austen's moralism'.
