Interesting piece on Jane Austen and her moral compass:

A lot of the Austen canon takes place in Bath, a city I heartily recommend that you visit. Two days there is adequate; three if you're totally ga-ga over the place. If you visit England (or anywhere else in Europe), buy the Rick Steves guidebook--it's the only one you need--trust me on this. Steves is diligent in his study of a place and will tell you where to go and where not to go based on how long you'll be in a given place. For example, if you're going to be in England for seven days, he'll recommend that you begin your trip by taking a coach (English for bus) to Bath after you land at either Gatwick or Heathrow, spend a few days there, and then finish your trip in London, taking in Avesbury on your way back. I recommend Steves in full acknowledgment that I despise his chicken shit political sermons he throws in about Americans lacking this or that Euro trait. Screw him. He does write a damn fine guide book, though. Bastard.
