Classics
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! :)

It's the amount of time spent on the practice that irritates me. Then the school board announced that if no one passed the test (because we now have the "Answer A is good, but answer B is better!!!" bullshit), they would then let anyone with a grade of X or above pass.
It's just ludicrous. They make a mockery of education!
