Have you ever bothered to read them?
I have, at least. I well remember trying to plough through 'Mansfield Park' at school. Maybe it's just me, or the fact that the book was imposed on us as a study text, but when nothing at all had happened for the first gawd-alone- knows-how-many chapters my tedium-numbed brain woke to find my subconscious idly plotting out the perfect murder. Sorry and all; novels like that are responsible for words such as 'turgid' being in the English language. Also possibly 'murder'.
Does anyone get the impression I'm not much of a fan?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
