Classics

In regard to Jane Austen, mentioned last week, is anyone still reading her books? Someone once said that a classic is a book that is still in print. Others have said that a classic is a book which is still in print after 50 years. How many classics have you read lately? I confess, I have not read many. Our book club tries to read at least one a year.

I confess I have not read a fiction book lately that I REALLY liked. Modern fiction just does not move me--too dark, too dreary. Maybe I will go back to the classics.
