I think she just could not understand the books when the plots are out touch of her experience... We all have difficulties to truely and throughly understand the complex plots and writers' complex feelings and experienes when they are too far away from our lives, but at least we get some kinds of sense from the writing and at least least know to show respect to the writers. But I think roobee just could not understand these books at all and feel too shamed to admit it and then just concludes that she doesn't like those books or feel disappointed about those books. Given her boring but wealthy and cozzzy life, she just does not understand other people's life and luckily she does not even give a tit at all haha. I just feel so surprised to see how a person's life and thoughts can be so irrelevent to what's going on in the world, the real modern world, not the victorian history. And her book review about the Art of War just accurately shows her arrogence and ignorance. And she's definitely not looking for true knowledges or sparks of thoughts when reading books. She is just looking for her middle-class values and thoughts and got obsessed with the description of the middle-class cottage life.
