Makes me think of Mark Twain's definition of a classic.
"Classic -- a book which people praise and don't read."
Shakespeare is lousy to read (the plays, that is), but great on a stage when it's well acted.
Charles Dickens, on the other hand... pure codswallop. Absolute torment to read. He should have been a grocery clerk.
