I spend a lot of time reading classics (and teaching classics), but I see no point forcing myself through them when my brain is tired and I cannot really appreciate them. Depends on the "classic", of course. Dumas and Austen are good for those times. But you know what I mean. I think I am currently using Le Carré for that, but I think I'll take a break from him, as well.
