You like your literature on the dark side. At your age then I was all up for the Greek and Roman Mythology, but was still in Action Comics, consistent, but low brow by comparison. At that age I wasn’t going to pick up the depth of The House of Atreus but was all for the surface level feats of might and power. At least you didn’t mention Melville. I just reread Bartleby, and I still don’t see it as anything “great”; I found Moby Dick unreadable.
I was a strange one when it came to what I read as a teen! I loved Heinlein and Asimov, Clarke, King, you name it, I would try! I read Shakespeare and so on. Anything involving ancient history, mythology, European history, the Middle Ages.
I never made it though Moby Dick or Wuthering Heights. Did not care for Dickens. Go figure. lol Some authors grabbed me and others left me meh. My teacher said I read too fast. So, that I possibly missed nuances. I don’t think so, but whatever! lol
Took me two times to read The Stand and, since then, I have read it a dozen times. I do not mind re-reading books and getting more from them.
