Summary

Jane Austen began writing Sense and Sensibility as a 20-year-old first-time author, in a time when women had incredible difficulty being published at all and, uh... boy do we have notes! Plus, Dave wants the Dashwood sisters to be exactly the same (in a feminist way!), and Kellen finally shows us his Snape/Colonel Brandon impression. * To buy the book, Sense and Sensibility, or listen to it free on Audible AND support the podcast, click here! https://amzn.to/3QeGqRs * TheBookPilePodcast@gmail...

yourself at all costs, and one day you will inexplicably get together. And this is the

book file. All right, quick reminder to please rate and review the book pile, or in the spirit of this book,

tell us you're going to, but then string us along and break our hearts.

1:22.2

further ado, here are our four favorite lessons from sense and sensibility. I almost said pride and prejudice,

1:30.3

probably because I would rather be discussing that book. All right, lesson one, don't be selfish,

1:38.6

even if you're hot. Although I will say, if you're hot, people may let it slide.

1:46.4

You're a lot more likely to be called outgoing.
