Just read The French Lieutenants Woman

2. I'd not read this one, but

have tried a few that I'd been assigned to read in high school and college and then probably wrote insipid essays as assigned. What caught my attention in particular was when I re-read Anna Karenina last year and sort of went WOW. I never saw it back then the way I saw it this time. so I have been slowly rereading some so called classics. You have to have some life experience to appreciate some of these books. We should never be assigned some of these books when we are so young. My rant, smile. And it is OK to not be able to get into a book. I liked a lot of the observations in the current read. And the double ending is probably too crazy for some folk. Try it if you want to do so, but if you do not like Victorian stuff, probably you'll be happier with something else. And, yes, does depend where yo0u are in life. I am retired so no competing stresses. Good luck!
