Readenfreude

I asked whether there was a word for reading the bad reviews of a book you really liked, then sniggering at the reviewers, because they missed the point of the book.  I love doing that.  In fact, I’ll read a book just because it has idiotic bad reviews.

Mo responded with the perfect word for it:  Readenfreude.

Perfect.
