Just saw your posts, BEP. I can do the classics if they're not too old school with the language. I'm not sure how to describe what I mean. John Irving mentioned in his auto-biography that Graham Greene was the author that inspired him to read, so I searched out some Graham Greene novels figuring they'd be up my alley as well. Problem being, Graham was a writer from the old days, when people spoke (and wrote) differently. It was a hassle because the language of the book just seemed outdated and not very smooth. I hope I'm explaining that correctly.
