Spinsters Library | No, I'm not reading classics wrong. A rant on gatekeeping classic books. [CC] @SpinstersLibrary | Uploaded September 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I am not reading classics wrong. You are not reading classics wrong. Because there is no single way to read classic literature. Welcome to Spinster's 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.
