There aren't a lot of classics I do like. :P I think most of it has to do with the language. I try to get passed it, and get enveloped in the story, but...ugh. I hate Shakespeare. And I hate having to annotate his works so thoroughly for classes. I hate Dickens. I hate Hawthorne. Lord of the Rings was boring and took me years to read all three of them. :P And I hate, hate, hate Mr. Franz Kafka. (I do like Sartre and Camus though. ) I hated The Metamorphosis, and when I found out that I have to read it again this semester I just about died. Heart of Darkness was terrible. The Great Gatsby was eh.

Crime and Punishment was all right I suppose, if I hadn't had to annotate it like I did. Chaucer, blegh. Tess of the D'Urbervilles blegh.

I guess I just have really bad taste in literature. I dunno, I just...greatly, greatly prefer more contemporary fiction. *shrug*
