Many classics that I have read (or tried to read) are incredibly boring and tedious to read. It has been decades since I read a classic. I doubt I will read more than one additional in my remaining lifetime. LOTR maybe - can you believe I have never read that?
Everybody has different tastes. Classics just aren't mine. Usually I find books to be so much better than movies made from them. But not for the classics. I enjoyed "The Count of Monte Cristo" movie (the version with Jim Caviezel - the only one I have seen). The book ... I was asleep before page two ended.
