I like many of the classics - in fact, "Tale of Two Cities" is one of my favorites. But I will admit that if the verbiage is too old, it can make it difficult to follow the story. I write paranormal fiction. I read every other genre except that one because what you say is true... you absorb other writer's styles and I don't want my writing to be influenced by others. You also make a wonderful point in that being alive today feels exactly like it did 100 years ago. That is a point I regularly make in my writing.   P.S. -  I hope your statistic about 42% of college graduates will never read another book isn't true! How sad. Excellent points.
