I see you voted for it when it was chosen; I thought your MO was to vote and read. My mistake.

And vice versa? If everyone knows the classics, and there is no need to do spoilers, surely they have been discussed to death and any new discussions will add nothing new other then how people "feel".

Part of the appeal of the classics is that there’s so much depth to them; there’s always the possibility of new insights and greater understanding. However, I don’t take your comment seriously.
