Tag Thursday: The Classics Book tag

This tag is originally run by Vienna@It’s a Books World, and since I’m pretty fond of classic literature, I decided to do this tag as well.

Tagging rosiefrecklereads, Nihaad@Read & Seek, Briana & Krysta@Pages Unbound, and Cait@Paper Fury!

1. An overhyped classic you really didn’t like:

I will choose Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. I tried reading this, but DNF’ed midway. Not my type of classics.

2. Favorite time period to read about:

I don’t really have preference when talking about classics books, but I usually read everything 19th century-ish.

3. Favorite fairy-tale:

The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. And basically everything Andersen.

4. What is the most embarrassed classic you haven’t read yet:

I think I don’t have one. Or, if you can take DNFs into account, then it’s Lolita by Nabokov. Dropped midway as well.

5. Top 5 classics you would like to read (soon):

1) A Hero of Our Time by Lermontov; 2) 1984 by George Orwell; 3) The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde; 4) The Idiot by Dostoyevsky; 5) actually, a reread The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov.

6. Favorite modern book/series based on a classic:

Oh, that’s definitely The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. LOVED IT.

7. Favorite movie version/tv-series based on a classic:

Actually, the 2005 short TV-series of The Master and Margarita was pretty good, I personally enjoyed watching that.

8. Worst classic to movie adaptation:

The 2011 version of The Three Musketeers. I was lucky not to watch the full movie, but just those teasers alone made me feel like: WTF?

9. Favorite edition(s) you’d like to collect more classics from:

I don’t usually follow that trend of collecting specific books from that specific publishers, but recently I really like the Vintage classics series, so, if I ever decide to collect classics in English, I’d probably go with that edition.

10. An underhyped classic you’d recommend to everyone:

I am pretty sure that the very The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is not very well-knows classic book, if you compare to War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and etc. So definitely recommending that to anyone interested in a classic about 20th century’s Russian society.
