That's not what you said in your first post on this thread.
But if you'll look back you'll see it's pretty close to what *I* said.
I don't agree with the 'equal footing' part because a work that's been loved for generations has obvious merits that a new work does not have.
I don't think anyone on this thread has, or would, say 'read nothing but classics or else you're a moron!' as you seem to be insinuating. The question was what classics to read and how to go about it, which is the question we endeavored to answer.
I read a mix of many things, classic and modern, but the question was about classics. Your many attempts to hijack the thread to what YOU want to read are not helpful.
