Did not care for Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.

I think it’s just that I don’t like tricks that I could pull. Sure, I could write like Eliot or Brontë or Braddon, but why would I want to produce some dim mockery of Victorian lit? And, furthermore, why would I want to read that?

I don’t want to do either, and therefore did not enjoy JS&MN.
