In my honest opinion some classics just have the kind of language that requires you to have a dictionary close by when you read them so you can understand the message.
I have read the book but the first time i read it i didn't understand it. So i went in a second time and then it got a bit better.

So true! I love the imaginary world I land into while reading the classics and us millennials really can't be compared to them.oogies wrote: ↑16 Aug 2018, 09:03 Now I want to read this book again! When I read Jane Austen it is easy for me to fantasize about being part of that era. When you stop to think about the implications of that you realize just how much a woman with today's standards will stand out in the society back then.
Society really has changed a lot in some aspects when you compare.

To be fair, Austen in general can be hard to get into. It took me three tries to read more than the beginning of Emma, for instance.Magnify3 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2019, 11:22 I have never been able to read it. I did start but failed to complete it. I think that it was one of the books that I borrowed from the library as a chore when I couldn't find something like Hardy boys. I got to watch the movie years later and realized that it was a good book.

It's been a long time since I read this, think I will again. And persuasion too.

I’ve had a similar experience. I had to read Pride and Prejudice in my British Lit class my freshman year and I couldn’t even get through the book. A few years later I tried again and fell in love with it. I re-read it at least once a year and snag up any and every re-write and spin off I can find!Annony11 wrote: ↑02 Jul 2019, 08:47 It took me three tries to get through Pride and Prejudice and enjoy it. I tried in 5th grade, had to read for school in 8th and gave up on it for more than a decade. I enjoyed film versions but couldn’t get into the book. Eventually, I came across the vlog, “The secret diaries of Lizzie Bennet,” which is a masterful modern retelling. Through that, I reread and finally enjoyed and appreciated the original book.
