i don't read romance of any kind. i'm not going to explain why, but i just don't! i'm slowly but surely losing my love for reading because anything that sounds remotely interesting to me has a romance plot (or is extremely sex focused). i read a lot of middle grade to get away from this but i'd like to be able to read across age genres. i love horror, magical realism and weird fiction in general but i'm open to anything.
i'd really appreciate any and all recommendations, thank you

Got a curious question to everyone who reads classics or studied them for their English literature degree.
Did you ever read a classic that turns out to be "bad" (you can define for yourself what "bad" can mean: outdated commentary, politically incorrect takes, horrible writing, unreadability, dislike, etc.)? Or when do you decide that the classic you are reading is "bad"? (Is it even possible to find a "bad" classic as opinions are subjective?)
I guess to narrow the term "classic" down, I'm figuring that this mainly covers the literary works you're analysing in schools or in the majority of university courses. And they mainly consist of works that are older than those published in the later half of the 20th century (but I also don't mind discussing more "modern classics").
Feel free to rant ahead with the takes you have! There are only three classics (well one of them is a required school reading) which I did not enjoy at all:

I have heard that the tv show is better than the books. Is it right? What are the major differences?

I just had the insanely jarring realization that honeymoons are a thing and I completely forgot about them when I set my username. I’ve always used “ golden moon” something as gaming usernames and just thought honey moon was a cute variation 🫠
This made me start wondering if I was similarly misreading anyone else’s usernames and what some of them meant. So while I think of a new username, I wanted to ask everyone what’s the story behind your username? 👀
Edit: The rebrand has been done 😌
