Reply to Why are HUMANS so predictable? by LegalCrook
Our capacity for reason should make us less predictable, but everything we do is relative.

LOTR is easily one of my favorite book series of all time. I read it for the first time in my 20s, and I felt more like a child than I have in my entire life.

The meaning of what a "classic" is has changed a lot in recent years, particularly when you consider the extremely narrow criteria formerly used. Faulkner may be "classic" in the old sense but audiences and critics have expanded in many ways.

Reply to Do you find yourself reading more non-fiction books and less fiction as you get older? by disruptivelychill
I study and teach fiction, so I kinda have to read it, but I'm not complaining about the fact that I recently started enjoying non-fiction a lot more also. I used to read it as a requirement, but for the first time this year I consented to reading non-fiction for fun, and I love it so much.
