[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People didn't read the original Dickens or Dumas all at once. They were installments in magazines and paid by the page. [/quote] This. It was like watching a TV show or multi-part video. Also it was *about* them / relevant to their lives in a way it isn't relevant to ours. Still great stories, I love Dickens, but you need to understand the context. I'm a voracious reader -- I read easily 50 books a year -- but OP would probably scoff at my choices. Sci fi, romance, YA, maybe a little comedic non-fiction. I'm an escapist reader, I have no interest in heavy drama. [/quote]
