Why do you think young people read so little classic literature? The decline of interest in reading in general is due to the changed pace of life, the chronic lack of time, the enormous flow of information, the wide choice of entertainment. And because of the specificity of contemporary visual culture: the image dominates over the word. The book market today offers us a huge amount of different literature. On forums on the Internet readers discuss novelties. In my opinion it's not so rare to see a person with a book in his hand in the street or in a cafe. Of course, young people read. But what kind of books? I think the ratio of those who read and those who don't read the classics is about the same as it was before, simply because there are few people who have a deep-seated need to read real, serious literature that makes you think. If a person doesn't like to read in principle, does he need to overpower himself? Is it even possible to suddenly love reading? You can't think of reading only as a matter of doing schoolwork. I understand that school lessons, with their standardized approaches and the imposition of stereotypical conclusions, kill the desire to read. Much depends on family upbringing, the intellectual level of the parents, and their influence on the children. It's impossible to make someone love literature. But I think it is possible to love reading. About today Young people today are very diverse in terms of alternative currents. Can you recommend classic literature that would be interesting to punk, for example? It seems to me that such a choice can't directly depend on one's belonging to a particular subculture, because classics contain "eternal" questions, the answers to which everyone can try to find. "A book does not have one author, it has a certain indeterminate number, because whoever wrote it is rightly joined in the creative impulse by all those who have read it, are reading it, or will read it again," Michel Tournier argued. Here's a test to see if that's true.
