A contest sponsored by Time Out New York to pick the book that is “most essential to life — and cocktail conversation — in New York City” has reached the semifinals. Freakonomics is still in the running, pitted this week against Jane Austen‘s Pride and Prejudice. Talk about apples and oranges.
If we happen to make it to the final round, the cognitive dissonance will not subside: we’ll be up against either Lolita or The Age of Innocence.

Right! It’s been printed! Congratulations,

I gotta stop drinking so much- I don’t ever remember a party conversation referring to pride and prejudice (at least as a conjunctive)

Well, for one thing, I doubt if Jane Austin would appreciate sharing her pic with the Freakoid logo.
Even if it is a fake, totally made-up painting of her.
