Classic' - a book which people praise and don't read.

Summary

This quote by Mark Twain humorously captures the paradoxical nature of classic literature. It suggests that while people often acknowledge and admire classic books, they may not actually read them. This could be due to various factors such as the perception of difficulty, time constraints, or simply a lack of personal interest. Despite the praise classics receive for their enduring significance and contribution to literature, there remains a paradoxical gap between admiration and actual engagement with these culturally significant works.
