I love Dickens passionately. Just, something about the way he writes. I may go into fits of rage about his anti-Semitism in Oliver Twist or the sheer ignorance of and hatred for women in Great Expectations, but I still love Dickens. I also adore Wilkie Collins and Elizabeth Gaskell, as far as Victorian writers go.
Thomas Hardy, on the other hand, I would like to punch in the face. Fraking Jude the Obscure. That's three weeks of my life I'll never get back.
