Read a classic

I have read classics before back when I was in elementary through high school but have not read any lately. My reading mainly consists of textbooks and non-fiction. I haven’t done any pleasure reading in a while. I thought I should start with a classic so I picked up Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. This will be my first time reading anything of Jane Austen’s. Let’s see how much leisure reading I can fit in.

Read both the Alice books, by Lewis Carroll. I was totally amazed by how good they were!

i’ve read a few but they are definitely an acquired taste. the language often throws people off. Jane Austen is definitely my favourite classical author. personally, i find classics boring but fantastic pieces of literature. to study, they are more than any student could ask to deconstruct but for pleasure, they fail to perform. of course, there are always exceptions such as Austen’s Pride & Prejudice and Alcott’s Little Women . it doesn’t help if you aren’t really fond of the eras the classics were written in.

I found this website that sends a whole book to you in short sections through email. It’s pretty cool and they are continually adding books. If you need a break you can stop them from sending and then restart when you are ready to pick it up again. I don’t work for them or anything, I just think it might help. I have three books being sent to me right now and need to start up my subscriptions again for the summer.

Some are better than others. You’ve just go to try it out for yourself and find what you like to read. Try something new. You may just like it.

I’m 13 and read George Orwell’s Animal Farm. It made me go veggie, but still a good book and not very long either.

This book is something I almost don’t want to read.
However, it is a book of some porportion since it’s so equivocal of how humans actually are.

I hate the characters because of how selfish they are, but I cannot put down the book.

To sum it up from my friend Nathan

“Why would I want to read a book about the life we’re living?”

I have Tom Sawer and Huckleberry Fin somewhere, I can get Dracula…

I know a friend who reads classics and i’d probably be able to borrow much off her. But its mostly classic english literature, and i’m not sure if I should go for classic sci-fi, or maybe something thats not fiction at all.

Where to begin.

i read Great Expectations by charles dickens and it was very very confusing and i hated it!!!! just my opinion though!! although i’m sure not all classics are bad! i would love to read Pride and Prejudice-hopefully soon!!!
