Classics

[dukealien]

When I was in school in the 90s, there were classics I kinda had to read.  Earliest examples probably from the 60s maybe catcher in the rye or catch 22.  It's been 30 years since the 90s, are there new 'classics'?

Probably so (shudder).  In my day it was Macbeth (bowdlerized - the Porter's soliloquy cut, but our naughty English teacher let us hear a recording which included it), Julius Caesar, Pride and Prejudice, A Tale of Two Cities (missed David Copperfield, mercifully).  Not much poetry.  Today it's probably Gaea and BLM every day...
