I agree that some classic literature is not likely to be of interest to most teenagers.

I am sure Chaucer would interest them quick enough.

In this day and age, you expect them to find sex talk in Middle English titillating?

I remember this thread. After the discussion, I checked out the recorded book of “My Antonia” and actually liked it (as did my 12-year-old, or I guess he was 11 back then, maybe 10). Since then, I’ve read another 5 or 6 of Willa Cather’s novels, and I think I’ve found all but one of Edith Wharton’s at the library.
