I love stories which directly get into the plot. One reason I cannot concentrate on classics is that there is a bit too much of explanation!
The classics do seem incredibly wordy for those of us used to fast-paced, page-turning plots. Not that there was much else when I was growing up. It was Dickens, Scott and R L Stevenson all the way. Great stories but they never used one word when ten were available. :) I still ove Trollope, though. And Jane, of course. The Russians are tougher!
