I really can't seem to enjoy reading anything much older than mid-twentieth century. The language and style is just not relatable. I use George Orwell as a benchmark for no other reason than I remember enjoying "Animal Farm" and "1984" in school, but never enjoying any "classic" from any time much before.

HOWEVER, I truly enjoyed Frank Muller's audio book performance of "Moby Dick," and I enjoyed that Leonardo DiCaprio "Romeo+Juliet" movie, which is pretty much word-for-word Shakespeare, but in a modern setting. It was the first time I felt I understood the play.

So I guess I might like a lot of the classic stories if I didn't actually have to read them. I guess that's the root of the "I'll wait for the movie" cliche....
