Classics

[in_the_attic]

Hello!

I have a rather odd question: Does anyone else find reading classics easier to read than reading contemporary fiction, young-adult, or anything modern? I can relate to the characters better in a classics, the stories seem more realistic, and every time I try to read something new, I end up throwing the book away, especially young-adult books. The situations just don't seem real.

It'd be nice to know if anyone else is like this! :)

mm, there does seem to be a common theme among YA fiction these days; supernatural horror/pseudo-erotica. i liked it better when Anne Rice did it 20 years ago :-).

exactly. there's a cycle of regurgitation happening in the literary world thanks to the overwhelming success of a select few. it's a bit disturbing.

oh? what does she read?
