I guess I should finally read Snow Crash, but other books keep getting in the way. I just finished Neuromancer which surprised me with how well written it was. No idea why, but I expected the classics to be more … exhausting.
I get what you mean. Many classics are that way, especially as we get further from when they were written. I’ve been trying to work through Moby Dick on audio book during my commute, but it feels like a slog. Same with some parts of The Count of Monte Cristo but that has a good amount of suspense that really carries the reader through some of the more stuffy aristocratic sections.
