Book Review Haiku: Pride and Prejudice
What it says on the Tin...
Pride gives great offence
Man listens to criticism
Lots of visitors
Am I aware of how very little this explains? Yes. Do I consider that my problem to fix? No.
In my defence, seventeen syllables is not a whole lot of room to convey the depth and meaning of one of the best-loved and most enduring novels of all time.
I guess you'll just have to go and read the book (or watch the multitude of adaptations) for yourself...

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.

what a lovely work you did
Awesome one, Natasja!!
Well done, if it encourages more people to seek out Jane Austen. I just don't get haiku.
Is the book just like me, with many a visitor while longing for just one?
The comic shop that gave me idea wants to share our #bookreviewhaiku on their social media Is that OK with you?
Excellent job!
