Tom ridicules Audrey for liking Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. He points out that, even though he's never read it, it is universally agreed to be a mediocre book. "You don't have to read a book to have an opinion," he argues. He goes on to say that he doesn't read any novels but prefers to read literary criticism instead. "That way you get both the novelists' ideas as well as the critics' thinking," he reasons.
