I agree, MtheGM, because some literature I was introduced to in the sixth form and at Uni didn't impress or inspire me at all. I never did re-read, for example D H Lawrence, Middlemarch, or any of Joseph Conrad's books, or Balzac, Albert Camus, Rimbaud, Goethe. In fact, I must be a fussy old thing! Funnily enough, your list sits on my bookshelves almost in its entirety. Mansfield Park! I'm almost sure I could reproduce it verbatim; the book is literally worn out. And Just William! Looking back, I think I've lived 'in' books as much as I've lived 'in' the real world! Should've been a contemplative nun ((which I once seriously considered); they read A LOT and have the time and the peace to do so without interruption!
