"[Literary-minded] men choose _Hamlet_ because every man sees himself as a
disinherited monarch. Women choose _Alice_ [in Wonderland] because every
woman sees herself as the only reasonable creature among crazy people who
think they are disinherited monarchs."
                                   -- Adam Gopnik, _The New Yorker_
