Its a classic literature guessing game-show, featuring Bill and Minerva! Sort of... tell me if this format works in the comments. Also apologies for the less than optimal sound quality, I recorded this whole video without noticing the microphone wasnt plugged in.

I am not reading classics wrong. You are not reading classics wrong. Because there is no single way to read classic literature. Welcome to Spinsters Library where we ACCEPT THAT READING TASTES ARE DIFFERENT AND CLASSICS ARE NOT ABOVE PERSONAL OPINION. Shoutout to the spot of toothpaste on my t-shirt.
