I've never read The Picture of Dorian Gray, but I loved The Importance of Being Earnest.
And I hated Frankenstein.
And I hated Frankenstein.
A few thoughts on my Classic challenge book. Well, books, as it turns out.

There's really only one high fantasy classic, no? Or two, if you count the Silm separately. *NM*

You can't love all of the classics, but it's not like it's a genre of its own that you can dislike.

The Swiss Family Robinson is hardly a "classic", unless by "classic" you mean "old".

A lot of "classics" need proper context to be appreciated

Why not? We liked Le Déclin de l'Empire Américain and Les Invasions Barbares. *NM*

The big problem with Dracula is that it's an epistolary novel.

Yeah, agreed.

But Frankenstein doesn't even have good writing to recommend it.

Dracula is the book I hope to review (properly) today. I love it. So very much.
