My wonderful 7th grade teacher had us read Visit to a Small Planet, so I'd also read some of his work without really connecting the two. I still can't imagine he was very happy that Jerry Lewis starred in the movie version. I hope he finds an afterlife filled with sterling conversation and plenty to kvetch about.

I've felt guilty about that ever since, because when I went back to reread the Austen novel I decided she'd done a really good job. Sounds like another blog post in the making . . .
