“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.”

I have not read Pride and Prejudice so far, but I probably know what Mark Twain mean with this. Certain books can invoke very strong emotions/feelings in us, and not necessarily in a good way. But still. His opinion escalated quickly from "I haven't any right to criticise books" to brutally beating up the author. Haha. 😂
