Mark Twain, the American writer, was so irritated by Austen that he wrote in one letter: “Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and hit her over the skull with her own shin bone.”

One might almost think he'd come across a time-travelling copy of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."

Maybe he picked it up while visiting the Starship Enterprise.

I wholeheartedly concur with Mr. Clemens on Jane Austen. 19th Century Chick Lit at its worst.

Never really cared for any English literature post-Shakespeare and pre-Wodehouse/Waugh anyway.
