OP, I'm tempted to think that you are in high school or taking some sort of literary class, or are holding on to that period of your life. I used to LOVE reading, until I started having to do it for class - dissecting every last nuance of a writer's work took all the fun out of it for me. I hated having to decode more difficult wording and speech, so I turned to YA novels and fanfiction because they were less challenging and allowed me some escape. THAT'S OKAY - I'm only starting to come out of that phase now, unemployed and bored at 24 after 4 years of college and 1.5 years of an insanely stressful job.

However...give it some time. Don't let people convince you that you need to read classics to be CULTURED, but there are some that are entirely worth reading for their stories. For example, I will never read Catcher in the Rye ever, ever again, nor Moby Dick, nor most of Shakespeare (I did love Macbeth, though...). However, Frankenstein? Awesome. 1984? Great! The Great Gatsby? Candide? The Crucible? FABULOUS. Not all classics are the same - none of them should necessarily be ready simply for their cultural impact, but some of them have enough story to really carry them and are NOT arduous reads.
