Why Should We Read the Classics

Toward the end of 2019, I read A Long Fatal Love Chase by Louisa May Alcott. I chose it to fill the only category I hadn’t yet completed in PopSugar’s 2019 Reading Challenge: to read a book that was published posthumously (meaning after the author’s death.) Out of the 86 challenge tasks I had that year between three changes, I put this one off until absolute last. Why? Because all the books I own that fit this criterion are classics.
