Sam Sattler's blog, Book Chase, has this as its quote of the moment: Mark Twain's “Every time I read ‘Pride and Prejudice’ I want to dig her up and hit her over the skull with her own shin-bone.” Very amusing, and new to me. You might think that I, well known to be a "Janeite," would bristle at this, but in fact I always forgive harsh criticism as long as it is funny. (Well, harsh criticism of others' books, at least.) I don't know what bugged Mr. Clemens about Miss Austen, though I could certainly hazard a score or two of guesses, or why he chose the shin-bone in particular. It sounds sort of like a Great Books version of the game Clue, doesn't it?— Mr. Twain, in the Library, with the Shin-bone.
