Luckily, "classics" are written in a ton of different styles (not just the Scarlet Letter-esque prose many people were tortured with in high school) and genres, and there are classics out there for everyone. Pride & Prejudice is just about a sure bet, though--hope you enjoy it!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414324160166322024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146807812241034464.post-11018168633468962602016-07-19T17:23:21.771-04:002016-07-19T17:23:21.771-04:00@Helia D-- Yes, I love Ibsen's themes, many of...@Helia D-- Yes, I love Ibsen's themes, many of which were considered quite radical at the time.
