[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the classics question, there is more to being educated that just reading books a bunch of old dead white men wrote.[/quote] The classics are such a narrow range of human experience. They are best addresses in a history class as a way to study the values of the time periods in which they are written. [/quote] This is just not true. They are classics because their themes are eternal and still relevant in our day and age While the books du jour they are replaced with - who knows if they will last?[/quote] There are only so many themes that a book can have. If themes being eternal is the test of a book being a classic than lots qualify. Books are considered “classics” because someone deemed them that long ago. But that doesn’t mean people have enjoyed reading them for a long time or that they in general reflect the prevailing time. [/quote]
