King Lear is probably the most painful thing I had to slog through in college.

I gotta' give Charles Dickens the nod for "worst books ever (aside from abysmal crap nobody reads or studies, hyperbole being what it is)".
I'll grant him "A Christmas Carol" because it adapts into some awesome cartoons. But that's it. Dear God, the man can write paragraphs about nothing.
I know, right? Like, how can it be the best of times and the worst of times? That doesn't even make sense! Charles Dickens? More like Gnarls Dickends. Ha HA!
I have very little time for The Classics in art, literature, or music.
There's too much great stuff being written now that has more impact on my life.
Indeed. Such as "The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook Volume 2".
That's so stupid.
95% of the best stuff being produced today is directly influenced by classics.
And yet written for the modern age!
Amazing how that works.
There's great classic books and great modern books. I like to read as many as possible.
At the moment I'm reading The Great Gatsby for the umpteenth time.
