MLA's "30 Books Every Adult Should Read Before They Die"

Millions of people disagree

I definitely disagree!
I finally sat down with Pride and Prejudice and just loved it. It was hilarious and witty.

Maybe you just didn’t like the writing style or content.
That doesn’t make it garbage.

19th Century (well, maybe, 1820 to 1880) English novels written for adults are poison. Dickens, Eliot, the Bronte sisters, Austen: all guilty of suck. Children’s literature is another story.

But that’s just my opinion.

Jane Austen simply could not write a bad sentence. Reading her works is a pleasure and perhaps should not be read by people unable to appreciate good writing.

They should read it because they want to.
Being forced to read her takes all the fun and joy out of it.
