No you are not weird. There is nothing like classic literature. I applaud you for wanting to discover it. I wish more young people realized just what they are missing out on by paassing over classic literature.

I have nor read Uncle Tom's Cabin. I absoluted love Charles Dickens and Oliver Twist is amazing. If you get a chance you need to check out others by him. Great Expectations, Nicholas Nickleby and A Tale of Two Cities are my favorites by Dickens. Also, If you ever want suggestions I will be glad to give them. I simply adore classic literature.

Enjoy these pieces I know you will.
