I havent any right to criticise books, and I dont do it except - TopicsExpress



          

I havent any right to criticise books, and I dont do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I cant 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...... ....She makes me detest all her people, without reserve. Is that her intention? It is not believable. Then is it her purpose to make the reader detest her people up to the middle of the book and like them in the rest of the chapters? _Samuel Langhorne Clemens
