I've tried to read quite a few of the classics, and found a lot of them difficult to read . . . I was wondering if anyone had suggestions of classics that are a little easier to understand . . . I don't mind an in-depth book, but I'd rather not have to spend more time trying to figure out what the author is saying than I do on the actual plot.

Do you find them difficult because of the archaic language?

and do you REALLY have a Posh&Becks avatar?

That would be a double yes. Posh & Becks are sort of my celebrity guilty pleasure.

The Great Gatsby is a pretty easy read, I think. It's an easier read than, say, Pride and Prejudice. Although Pride and Prejudice is a good novel.

Gulliver's Travels is positively ancient, but a very easy read.
