There are a few classics that I really didn't enjoy at all and some that I loved. With a few of them that I didn't like, I KNOW that the only reason I don't like it is because I'm not really getting the message due to language or the style or whatever.

Least favorites:

Dickens (so wordy and borrring)
Shakespeare (I only like a couple of pieces and to be honest, I know that I don't enjoy them only because I can't get past the language)
Grapes of Wrath
Thoreau (oh god. boring boring boring)

Favorites:

The Scarlet Letter
Wuthering Heights
Frankenstein
The Awakening
Tess of the d'Urbervilles
The Story of an Hour

I think I'm just a big fan of the Romantic Period for plot, style, meaning. I haven't read a "classic" for a while and I'd like to get back to them!
