I'm glad the classics are free. I would be in the boat as you, wherein that I wouldn't normally pay for classics (you can always get them for free at the library, or very cheap on Amazon), but the convenience of the Kindle would peak my interest more to read them again.<br /><br />I know what you mean also, about how some of the classics have a different meaning as you get older. I read a lot classics during my school years (through college), but they were mostly reading assignments. I enjoyed them, but I didn't grasp (or had time to grasp, really) the emotions taking place. I didn't really understand what the characters were going through. I have a much better understanding now when I have re-read classic (Dream of Red Chamber, or Mansion, depending on the translation, is a favorite of mine, but I ended up reading a lot of Chinese classics while studying in college). These characters went through horrible experiences! I realized when I first read Red Chamber how terrible everything was for many of the characters, but I didn't realize just HOW terrible their lives were until I re-read it for enjoyment almost 10 years later.Just a little about The Miserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777856901464901912noreply@blogger.com
