/lit/ - Literature

I am in late high school (yes I'm 18) and I have friends that read, but only YA tier stuff. My family are very /lit/ and I grew up surrounded by books and started reading the classics young, and bypassed the YA phase.

I've suggested books to them, even Jane Austen and the like (romance element ties in with YA) but they all complain that the language is too hard, that the classics are sexist/racist/whatever (so I'm friends with some borderline SJWs, there is literally no one else in my school worth bothering with) and that the plots just aren't as interesting as John Green/Divergent/generic YA romance #7.

How do I change this? I have no one to talk to about books outside of my parents, and it's getting really annoying.
