I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them.
I often want to criticize 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.
Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.

--- Mark Twain
