No: But I know good literature when I read it.
But that was not the issue. The issue was the comparison of message/depth. So what is the message/depth/influence on a modern reader from Austen?

For Pratchett it is very easy to enumerate a lot of things people get from the books and I can think of much more things than I can think of from Austen.
