    I confess after reading those articles about authors behaving badly in reaction to negative reviews, I feel a MAD DESIRE to hate-read some books and review them.

    (Books I give horrible negative reviews to are usually ones I ended up sad-reading. As in “I really wanted to like this book but it was so disappointing.”)
