Reading a classic...

Reading a classic is not an easy task, mostly because the number of words they contain in one book equals the number of words on an average teen series, and the words, undoubtably, are size 10-12 fonts with tight spacing. Being a teen, it is hard to get through a classic...for some. And another pain of classics, if the length doesn't get you, the words do. Reading a classic gives the job of deciphering complex sentences and even more complex words. Reading a classic is not easy, but the awesome reward of reading into a classic far exceeds the pain of reading it. So, my friends, read a "classic" novel, try The Great Gatsby, it's short, only semi-painful to understand (and if you have a way with words it's easy), and as I've read so far, it's pretty good.
Oh yeah, and here are some great books:
Youth in Revolt by CD Payne
City of Thieves by David Benioff
Spud by John van de Ruit
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
2001 A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke
