My reaction to Calvino's essay was a logical one for sure. I had never thought about the things Calvino said before I read this essay. For example, his point that the classic novels should only be read by fully mature adults, when I thought about that more I understood what Calvino actually meant when he said that. The classics to me are boring and uninteresting and now that I have read this essay I understand that it is because I am not fully mature. When I reread the classics in my adulthood I am hoping that I will understand them more.
