Nah, OP, lots of people haven't made it through very many "classics", latter-day or otherwise. I desperately want to get through a lot of classic books, but have been put off by the sentences or grammar of a lot of them (Jonathan Swift, periods exist. Seriously. They're free! You can use more than two a page!). It's not stupidity or any kind of thing to go "I recognize this is a classic, but I can't read it." I found out that long and complicated sentences were easier to follow when I read them out loud to myself.

The people who came up with the lists may have been onto something, or not, but taste is subjective, theirs and yours. There's lots of forgotten gems from old times that nobody reads anymore, and lots of crappy books that became "classics" for no good reason. Don't beat yourself up, read what you want, and read summaries of what you want, too. Lots have people have barely read any books on the list.

God damn, Gulliver's Travels would be so much easier to read if it were edited to conform to modern punctuation. I enjoyed it, but I never stopped reading every single capitalised noun as a proper noun, and every italicised word with emphasis. It made for a weird experience.
