    Man, I don’t get people’s obsession with classics. I’ve tried them and outside of a bit of Mark Twain, I just haven’t enjoyed them.

      I get it to some extent.It is a very different experience to read literature that’s aimed at a well-read, educated cohort rather than a society with a 6th grade reading level. So if people like reading in that way it’s…fine. But making it a litmus test/personality is just a bit absurd. If that was the test I’m surely a fool.
