How long since you read this classic?
According to Italo Calvino*, “Classics are books which, the more we think we know them through hearsay, the more original, unexpected, and innovative we find them when we actually read them.” Also “A classic is a book which with each rereading offers as much of a sense of discovery as the first reading.”
If it’s been a while, maybe it’s time for a re-read!

One of my faves (despite having taught it once or twice!). I like the definition of classic.
