These are the sort of books that I cannot call classics because for me, they don't hold up. They feel old. They don't feel relevant.

Maybe I don't understand what you mean by dry writing. If anything, I thought the book was overwritten. I struggled with many of the metaphors and then gave them up. I thought it was self-consciously fancy writing, the opposite of dry.
