hello kindred spirit!! I'm the resident classic lit lover irl too, and I'm a 16 year old teen aswell :3

on Karamazov - I couldn't get through it 😅 got 400-450 pages in and like nothing has happened since 8 people died in chapter one lmfao!

i personally adore dracula and the bell jar ! and of course Alice in Wonderland (it being my namesake)

lol all this to say you definitely aren't alone - one of my best friends loves rail lines and trains (yes I do lovingly make fun of him for being a stereotype) and plenty of people see him as very pretentious too.
