A lot of the appeal of classic lit for me is getting to see a little window into the past. It's like a snapshot of how things use to be (or how someone wanted things to be.) But I love my genre fiction as well. It's fun and easy and sort of like eating candy. Not a lot of substance, but delicious.Alyson Burdettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916059117572619004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9153239170529797909.post-42278050219496600562012-09-14T19:26:09.985-06:002012-09-14T19:26:09.985-06:00I have not read many classics.

It's based on science, but still is what I would consider one of the best "modern classics".<br /><br />I haven't read most classics either, and I understand some of the boredom. But, I do enjoy a good dose of Dickens!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064986227209226120noreply@blogger.com
