Day 1, Part 2: Classic Literature (Classics)

"Why, reader, do you love classics?"
"Tell us all the reasons you love classic literature.  What are your favorite classics?  If you could give a list of classics to someone who claims to hate them to make them change their mind, what would be on it?  How would you convince them to give classics a try?  And why do you keep coming back to those old favorites?"

Okay, get ready to let the criticism fly....but I'm not really a fan of classic literature, not to READ at least.  I've tried reading Pride and Prejudice and not only was it word for word (nearly) verbatim of the Colin Firth version of the movie, but the language was so hard for me to get past and because of that I never finished it.  However, I am a fan of classic literature turned into movies....does that count?  No?  Well...can we still be friends?  haha

I will say that I do love how most authors gain inspiration from the classics and I really enjoy when they intertwine quotes from various classic literature in their own books.  Tho I personally might not ever read them (Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, The Great Gatsby, P&P, Jane Eyre, Les Miserables, and the list goes on) I fully support classic literature especially when they come to the big screen as movie adaptations.

Be gentle on me.....not all book readers (and bloggers) are fans themselves of the classics.
