I love reading, but I cannot even with classic literature. Sorry, Jane Austen. You are simply not my jam. Novels of manners are too stuffy. Or maybe I’m just lacking in manners?
Sam, Sam, Sam... why do you get my hopes up only to crush them into little tiny pieces? I love both Austen *and* Tolkien! Neither of them are my hero, but I appreciate their talent in their respective genres. Take that, you mannerless slattern! I shall have you trapped on top of Orthanc until you can speak more reverantly of---or to---Jane. Humpf!
