That's an interesting fact but in a modern setting, with all the prejudices about Jane Austen being "women's writer", it might be unusual for a male character to profess a good deal of interest in her works (depending on the character).

Well, as you say, it depends on the character. It would throw me if it was somebody who I couldn't see as a reader at all, and an author would have to work to sell me on the characterization.

But if the character is somebody who's plausible as a reader, I wouldn't find it unusual at all. What it would say to me is that the character isn't so pathetically insecure about his masculinity that he's afraid to read Austen in case her books have girl cooties. And given the kinds of characters fandom tends to like, I'd expect that to be true of a reasonable percentage of them.
