dracula is the second most boring book i have ever tried to read. i will gladly take all the controversy.

though you be onto something. most fiction i hate is old.

Old novels are not written the same way as novels of the last hundred years; unless you're surrounded by old literature, it's hard to get into. It's definitely a taste thing.

This doesn't seem like assuming good faith. They said they really didn't like a specific novel.

Not that I don't think it's a weird take, I loved Frankenstein when I read it. But as you say no accounting for taste
