I think I posted about it here (or maybe it was at the other, now ad-filled place), but I picked up A Tale of Two Cities while bored at my M-I-L's place one holiday, and thought that it was very good. As a lad, I couldn't get past the first chapter, so I relied upon the Classic Comics version/Cliff's Notes.
It works both ways, too. I now can't stand a lot of sci-fi stuff I loved as a teenager. Heinlein
was a fascist. And LOTR is incomprehensible (ha!) in many, many, many parts.
