Here’s a last-minute entry for those in the Rochester, NY area: the Pittsford Community Library will have a book group meeting to discuss Pride and Prejudice on Thursday, May 8 (today!) from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

The folks in Calgary have a little more time to plan for this one: this Saturday, the Jane Austen Society presents “Plotting Sexual Pursuit: Origin and Implications of Jane Austen’s Courtship Plots,” a lecture by U of C English prof Dr. David Oakleaf at the Sunalta Community Centre, 1627 19th Ave. S.W.

Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga series of young adult vampire novels, is a Friend of Jane.

What writers inspire you?
Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, and Orson Scott Card. I can’t go through a year without re-reading Austen.
