I haven’t any right to criticise books, and I don’t do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Everytime I read ‘Pride and Prejudice’ I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.
Mark Twain, referring to Jane Austen in an 1898 letter to Joseph Twichell (via libraryland)
(My note: Wow, Twain really hated Austen…)
