Dickens. Because he seems mean-spirited. I don't mind people being in total disagreement with me, or complete loons, but it's mean-spiritedness I can't stand. I mean I hate Hardy in the sense that I can't bear to read his books (I think I have read them all once; he was my grandmother's favourite writer) but I don't hate him as a person I just can't bear the despair and gloom. I quite like his poetry. But Dickens is mean-spirited and sentimental and I cannot like him.
