There's not just de Sade (whom I definitely consider a classic), there's also less brutal classic erotica: Mirabeau comes to mind, Zola is hardly chaste, a lot of Roman and Greek writers are pretty naughty, and there are lots of others. As for cheesy romance - lol, have you ever read a Jane Austen novel? Or stuff like North and South? That's basically 18th and 19th century wishfulfilment. If that's not a cheesy romance classic, I don't know what it is. It's girl meets boy, meets conflict, and in the end they get married.

Again, if OP just doesn't like to read, or only reads very specific things like fanfic, fine. But the way the secret is phrased makes it sound like this person generally likes to read, but refuses to read classics (despite "not having read them" - so they can't have read that many classics and disliked them). And that's just a really weird distinction to make.

OMG OK I SURRENDER

Unless somebody is able to suggest genres that do not include "classics".


I still think that the theory of silly&thoughtless literature was sort of plausible and that it could be that OP tried these books but gave up.

I definitely agree on Jane Austen's works. And Zola is just creepy.

Oh, I'm intrigued : why do you find Zola creepy? (Not starting wank or anything, I'm really curious, as I love his work)
