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.

    They tried making me read it in school and I just re-read the plot synopsis and I still don't get why this book is so popular. Everything about it is so fucking boring.

    But then again maybe the reason it doesn't resonate with me is because I wasn't raised to fantasize about finding a rich, hot husband... you know, as a cis man.
