Classic Books

[PRECIOUSreads]

I think classics should not be seen by children and teenagers just as homework. Charles Dickens is my favourite author and has been since I was 11, every time I re-read one of his books I find something new. And the best thing about Classics is that you can always relate to them, even though they were written ages ago.

I totally agree with you as I share the same passion for the classics and I started reading them when I was a pre-teen. Jane Austin is my absolute favorite and I have read some Charles Dickens.

Charles Dicken's classical novels are very interesting and they bring out the society of that era well. many social issues as class discrimination are brought out through his stories. some of my favorites of Charles Dickens are Great Expectations, Oliver twist and David Copperfield.

Also, Jane Austen's novels are very interesting. they brings out the social background then and mostly focused on family and relationships. some of my favorites of Jane Austen are Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice

Classic books for me are the best you can ever read.

The best! You can never go wrong with them. Well, most of them. They are so solid and authentic. Few contemporary novels have the feel that classics have.

Classics will always be alive. I have taken the charge of sharing Pride and Prejudice with all my acquaintances. If they don't want to read the book, I suggest the movie. When the movie ends so quickly, and they feel hungover, they run towards the book .

Unfortunately, I'm not into classic books much but I enjoyed reading Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. It is such a great book. If someone don't want to give a book try, they can watch movie but the old one.

I totally agree with you because there were a lot of good classic books which should be read by the children. I like the books from Enid Byton such as The Mystery of The Pantomime Cat etc.

I couldn't dare disregard a book simple because of age. Some true classics tend to transcend time.

Classic books would leave a memory in every reader. I can't easily forget them no matter how long it has been

I think the definition of Classic books shouldn't be based on just old books. Most of the modern books are classics too.
