You know these classics...?
Discussion
They're classics for a reason.
I 'discovered' Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy a few years ago, despite being in my fifth decade and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Just back from a week on the beach where, thanks to posts here in Books and Literature, I was enthralled by The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dracula. Despite both stories being well known to me through film and general knowledge I was kept in suspense by both books. Frankenstein is next.
I think we might draw a moratorium on new books - there is too much to read as it is so no new writing is needed.
