An interview with Lee Child in The New York Yimes Book Review:
What do you plan to read next?
My to-be-read pile is enormous, but winking ominously at me is Jane Austen’s “Emma.” I have never read Jane Austen — in my American wife’s eyes an incredible deficiency for an Englishman, matched only by the fact that I don’t really like Mozart. I hadn’t read “Jane Eyre” either, until she made me, and I’m glad I did, so I’ll get to “Emma” eventually — but perhaps not soon.

“so I’ll get to “Emma” eventually — but perhaps not soon.”
Jesus Christ, get on with it. You call yourself an Englishman? Where do you come from? I’ve worked in Surrey all my life , I can show you where “Emma” is!!!!
If Emma is what you want to read get on with with it and get in touch with it emotionally!!
All the best,
Tony

I’ve just realised, Lee Child is never going to read what i have just commented. Your above quote has been copied from an article somewhere else. Damnatiion!!!!!!! How frustrating.
