If at one time neither your parents nor your teachers instilled in you a love of classical literature, then you should not despair. You can fall in love with the works of the classics at any age. The main thing is to understand why you need it.
Many people dislike classical works during school hours. This is often due to differences in points of view with the teacher, when there is a discussion of what has been read in the lesson. But now you have grown up and you have your own opinion on everything. You can make your own judgment about a novel, story, or poem. Open the world of a beautiful language and plunge into a bygone era.
The most interesting
Ask your friends what they liked about classical literature. Ask briefly, without a spoiler, to tell the story. If there are none in your environment, then look for like-minded people on the Internet. Now there are many social networks of book lovers, which include booktubers. So you can discuss works, express your opinion. Another option is to first watch the film, and then start reading the work of classical literature, which was adapted for the film. In this case, you will be able to compare the two genres.
Forget everything you've been taught
When you start reading any work, do not keep in your head that you are bound to like it. Let critics, reviews, the internet praise the text. You make up your mind. If you like it, it will be good. Do not like it - this is your opinion, your assessment of the work. This is the only way you can maintain your interest in classical literature.
Choose time
To get into the atmosphere of the book, you need to find the time for it. It is better to read the classics in silence, when no one is bothering. And it doesn't have to be at home. In the summertime, you can sit with a book in the park. In winter - in a cafe, where the smell of coffee and fresh pastries will hover. All this will help you relax and immerse yourself in the plot. In addition, in the summer it is good to read works where the plot takes place in the warm season. In winter, respectively, in the cold season. This will create additional surroundings.
Yes, many in the modern world prefer to spend time in front of a blue TV screen. However, those who have tasted the joy of reading will note: no film adaptation can replace the fantastic world that you create in your imagination.
