I admit that I really struggle to read some classics - although some I've read and really enjoyed! So it's like touch and go for me LOL I generally avoid them though because I don't like to be wondering if I'm going to like the book from the outset - I want to go in thinking I'm going to LOVE the book lol

Great answer!

Thanks for dropping by my blog , I'm following you in my reader now :)

Welcome to the blog hop! I will be sure to follow you! Only in the blog world can you say you are going to follow someone and it doesn't sound creepy! :->

I don't like classics very much either, if they are more modern classics then it is different. It is really the wording for me. Plus, I like you read for pleasure and I want it to be fun.

Have a great weekend!

2012-01-27T16:22:16.452-06:00

I have to agree that most classics (the older ones prior to the 1900s) are hard to get through, but I have found a few that were definitely worth the effort. The challenge is finding those few that are great (because each person's reaction to stories is so individual). So while I'm not a huge fan of stodgy old classics, I wouldn't have thought of them first for this answer. For me it's paranormal lit. I just can't get into it.

Thanks for following me, I'm following you back! I agree with classics. The words are so big and the language is really sophisticated. It's just too much for me every time!

2012-01-27T14:10:13.890-06:00

There are a few classics that I managed to read and love, but for the most part I agree with you. A read for entertainment and that means the book can't take me six months to finish! New follower.

I LOVE classics! But I can understand why a lot of people don't like them. Since I was forced to read so many in school, I learned to love them! New follower! Check out my FF:

I always feel terrible when I DON'T enjoy a classic - I feel like I should! For me, they are pretty hard to get through, too, and there are so many other genres I prefer to read more. :)

Hahaha classics can be really hard to understand sometimes. I remember in high school having to decipher each page because everything sounded like jibberish to me. Now though, I enjoy them. Especially Pride and Prejudice.

So do you read modern day classics or is it the historical aspect that you don't like?
