Definitely don’t need to read classic literature to enjoy a book even in modern times.
The trick is to A) pick a book that YOU will actually enjoy instead of what culture has told u is a good book and B) find a suitable time to crack away at it in short spurts such as bus rides or other periods of waiting.
Some classics i’ve enjoyed recently bc there obviously are some!
The count of monte cristo (over 1000 pgs and i don’t love reading, just saying)
The Tempest
That's important advice also: choose something you'll like and find a good time for reading. Thanks for the tips!
